Doesn't anyone start with small game anymore? My daughter started with squirrels when she was 7. She transitioned to deer/centerfire when she was ready....not when I was ready for her to.
This was my point. My daughter, now 19, would much rather hunt squirrel than deer. She's been a very successful deer hunter, but it's because she learned to be a successful squirrel hunter first. And it's not just hunting squirrel..she wants to hunt them on a certain piece of property. It's where she started hunting. It's where she has a ton of fun memories. Being drug out of bed, lead into the woods, put in a blind, expected to be quiet and stay awake, is not fun for a 6 yr old. Taking them out and still hunting squirrels is much more fun. Get to move around, make noise, and shoot guns you're not afraid of. Ive got plenty of fond memories of deer hunting, but nothing like the memories of squirrel/rabbit hunting with my papaw. My .02 centsStarting with small game is the only way to go. My son prefers squirrel hunting over deer BBC and is a much better shot because of it
Get you a.350 legend i just bought one for my daughter for$369 out the door at Walmart with a scope, picked it up 2 weeks ago. It's got less kick than a.243. It's very accurate from 20 yards to 100 there's 3.5 inch height difference but for a kid zero at 50 with it and they'll kill one. Ammo will be tough check out gunbroker. Com.i found 100 round for$200 a bit crazy price but only place that had it. Just went to range yesterday with itIs it legal in TN to shoot a deer with a 410? Grandson will be 6 next season- shooting off a tri pod. Thanks

I've shot plenty out of full choked shotgunsAnother thing to consider is that probably 95% of .410 shotguns come with a fixed full choke. A full choke and slugs do not go well together.
Yes she had 3 shots touching at 50 and 100 yards. My wife tooDaughter get a good group with it?
