Good for you brother that is a Nobel cause teaching youth respect that had unfortunate upbringings!!! When it comes to shooting make it serious but fun!! I lernd around age 5 from a friends dad and loved it and really lerned respect of my elders and the guns! I went over the top safety with my girls it was more scary than interesting and they have no interest now (8/12yrs old) but I still have time and have lernd my respect lesson again but am adding the fun... When I come home with a huge grin on my face after a good shoot!!
