How young is too young?

[sdmc530]

I agree, 3 is too young. My 3 year old is a good kid but even if I stand over him I don't think I would let him shoot. Doesn't understand enough about it. My wife and I have had this conversation a number of times, I was shooting BB gun at 5 or 6. My son already has three guns thanks to grandpa but won't get to shoot them for years. We meaning my wife said no bb gun till 7 and .22 till 9. I am ok with this but will see how he gets older....3 would be too young in my opinion.
