All I know is, I was literally shooting a .22 rimfire on a regular basis when I was 5 and 6 years old with my brothers who were 7 and 8 years older than me..so, guess I was lucky to be that much younger..got my first .22 rimfire for Christmas when I was 9..still have it..shot one trillion gophers with it.. ...not really, but as a kid it seemed like it..no suppervision after the first week or so..was left on my own--once my work/chores were done I was free to go shoot...for my work I got one box of .22 ammo per week..which was usually gone by Monday..

Thats the kind of childhood that makes honest people, those days are sadly gone for most of us, the only thing to do now is to make the best out of it. Nowdays most work at least 40 hours a day and drive another hour, then the kids "need" all the recreation activities as sports and so on. If the modern human gets one good hour a day with his kids he is a lucky man. Sadly most will spend it in front of the TV.

And we wonder why the world looks as it does.
