Among the people Q and I have taken shooting is a family of immigrants from the USSR, friends of my parents. The kids are 10 and 13 years old now. They have a BB gun, with which the younger kid had been less than safe. That got him and his sister safety training and a couple of lessons with a .22 and Makarov.
Now, I had this neat plan...when finances permit, get them a used .22 rifle (I see them used for about $60). Talk to the parent about supporting them by providing regular range trips (the parents are pro-rkba, just not very active). Stipulate that, when the first one is ready to leave home, they compete at range and target of their choice. Winner gets to own the rifle.
THoughts, suggestions?
