The kid can't start on a .22 like we all did?

I'm in the oddball group as well...

I guess the first real firearm I shot was a 12 gauge shotgun - lol - I loved it. Had friends that were big into bird hunting, from doves to ducks, man those dudes shot the feathers off 'em with extreme prejudice. Had to talk mom and dad into helping me get an 1100 that one of them was selling.

Sweet gun, still have it today - well okay, I gave it to my son, but it's still smooth as a caddy.
 
It would be interesting if there were anything other than anecdotal evidence that supported one method of learning over another, in terms of the percent of kids staying with the hobby as adults and also being reasonably accurate shooters. Obviously there will be kids that become and remain accomplished shooters that learned on semi-autos , as-well-as kids that drop the hobby or just stink as marksmen when started on single-shots. The training environment will also be another huge factor.

I'm just wondering what 'favors' success. Does the NRA or anyone perform studies such as this that are published? I have no idea.
