I know this is a archery site but Dakota who is 6 can't pull 40# yet. He does shoot a bow a lot but this year we started shooting a gun. We spent all summer shooting a 22 with a scope so he could learn how to see through the scope. Well it paid off, he got his first deer, it is a 9pt with a 15in spread. He shot it with a single shot 243 at 70yds. Needless to say he was proud and I am the HAPPEST GRANDPAW in the country.
