My dad bought me a Browning 22 when I was 4. I couldn't shoot it til I was 6. Don't have any kids of my own but I taught my step-daughter to shoot when she was 12. She was 12 when I met her. Interesting thing about the Browning is I didn't like the way it looked. When I was 12 my dad came home with a Winchester auto. I promptly swapped my Browning for it. DUUUUH!
Kids, Sheesh! He sold it a couple of years before he died. What I wouldn't give to have it now. My dad sold several of his guns before he died but I'm fortunate to have most of the ones that I grew up shooting. Sure do miss that Browning tho....... The winchester lasted about 3 years and many thousands of rounds before it started falling apart.
