Hi all,
I am looking to get my son (6 y/o) into shooting and gun safety. I thought starting out with an airgun would be best. Then gradually get him into .22 cal. I have done some research online but not sure which would be ideal for the boy. I originally started out planning on just getting a BB/pellet pistol (CO2) but then realized that I do not want him handling lead pellets all the time. So then, I started thinking about airsoft guns with the plastic BBs.
Can you guys give me some pointers on which would be better for a young boy? Something with decent accuracy so we can do some target shooting in the backyard/basement would be nice.
Thanks.
