Re: Good starting age?

Don't worry about accuracy, but fun and safety. We often start our 4-H kids with a blank paper, maybe a sticker in the center to teach sight picture. I agree with starting with a .22 first. Smaller is not always better as the extra weight of a full size make a difference on felt recoil. Y'all have a great time! Make some treasured memories!

ETA: I shot a .22 when I was 7, the 4-H kids we work with start at 8 or 9. Some with Air/BB, some with .22 pistol and rifle.
