[QUOTE="DC219, post: 5771613, member: 21499"] The worst thing for a new shooter is too much gun, too soon. Make him bore A LOT of holes with a .22. Have him shooting at 1 inch spots, trying to hold very tight groups. I even had my kids shoot a hole in a target and shoot at the hole. After hundreds of rounds through the .22, as mentioned by someone else, I stepped mine up to an AR chambered for 6.8spc with an adjustable stock. It’s loud, but has very little recoil. A 5.56 is fine too. Have him use hearing protection with any gun, even in the field while hunting. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to take him squirrel hunting. Squirrels take a lot of focus and discipline to hit. I would also recommend a similar progression for handguns as well, even after he gets comfortable with his deer rifle. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
