My kids...
KGillen:
I have four kids, aged 10, 8, 7, and 9 months, my oldest son (the ten year old), expresses on a nearly daily basis the desire to go shooting with me. I have instructed he, as well as the other two older kids in safe firearm handling using bb guns for practice. He is a damn good shot, a great listener and very responsible for his age.
I have searched the NRA-ILA site, NE statutes, NE game and parks etc etc looking for an answer to my question which is: How old (legally) does a child have to be to TARGET SHOOT. I read somewhere that the age for hunting is 10? don't quote me on that though. I haven't been on in awhile, don't remember ever seeing anyone ever ask this question, and used the search function to see if anyone had asked this yet (obviously I came up short).
Thank you in advance folks.

I'm pretty sure there is no legal age requirement for target shooting.

I have no plan to clear teaching my 7 grandsons to shoot with anyone, including their parents ;)

If you are waiting because you are too busy to take him shooting, you are wasting some good times that you can't replace. MAKE THE TIME, MAKE IT A PRIORITY!
I wasted some much of my time working and not spending it with my wife and kids, where it would have really meant something in the long run. Now no wife, no kids, and plenty of time wasted wishing I would have done those things that meant so much to them. I'm still broke, in more ways than one.

Please believe, time isn't the issue, just making sure I'm not going to get sent to CPS...and convincing his mother.
