Safety training!  What do you think the subject of this thread is?  

Since my son will probably start hunting when he is 12, I want him to have
as much experience handling weapons as he can get, not to mention shooting
on his high school's rifle team if he is so inclined (and there still is a
team).  When a boy turns 8, he is old enough to put away the kiddy toys
and start learning to use the tools of a grown man.

Further, just in case the draft is reinstated at some time in the future
and my boy is involved, I definitely want him to be as experienced with
weapons as he can be.


My son was 3 when I taught him to use a computer.  Why on earth does a
child that young need one of those?
