So, after seeing my son pick up every stick in the woods that resembled a gun and create these amazing adventures in his head, I decided to get him his own rifle. I bought the Ruger 10/22 based on a friend's good advice and knowledge of the gun and because of the small caliber.
With my son's fantasies of running though the woods and shooting zombies, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to introduce to him the use of a real rifle. He is 6 years old right now and extremely smart and well mannered. I don't have any issues with him in regards to discipline and would very much like to take him to shooting events with me. I have never had an issues with him wanting to touch my gun or anyone else's. I would like for this to develop into a life long love and understanding of what "guns" stand for in regards to freedom and being American.
I have plenty land to set up targets against a treeline or would it be best to start him off in an actual indoor shooting range.
Any tips or suggestions are much appreciated.
