i learned to shoot at three, shooting at bottles in a creek.
 my son is 5 & not really ready to learn to shoot as he's not 
good at paying attention to his surroundings. we have done 
some target shooting with him, but he needs real close 
supervision. 
 no 3 or 4 year old has the patience to "go hunting" unless 
you don't expect to *see* any game, never mind shoot any. kids 
that age are noisy, wiggley & get bored easy. unless you want 
them to *hate* hunting, leave them home until closer to 10 or 
12. if you want to do outdoors stuff with 3 or 4 year olds, go 
fishing.
