Well my son has hunted and has no problem shooting ,he shoots better that me (my eyes age Thing), he owned a Ovendoffer Mauser 270 win mag for about a 1yr and I owned a Wincher P14 303. but I have sold all our rifles and guns due to the new laws, not worth the cost and rules etc........
Airsoft is better.No more crap , when we (my son) play Paintball ,I play with him at all times so I can keep a eye on him. This would go for Airsoft until he is 18 then he can do what he likes.
