My 7yr old got his 1st gun ,the new BSA ULTRA SE(Thanks Bradford &Stalker for your time & advise), been out shooting with me since he was 4.After a couple of weeks shooting on paper finaly took him to the roost a set him up under a tree with a nice branch at just the right hight to use as a rest.He got in 20 shots @ ended up bagging 2. His face was a picture.
