Truth is, I don't see how you can do any shooting if just you and he go to the range. Are you going to lock him in your vehicle after he quickly loses interest?

The attention span of a 4 year old is SHORT!

You can't watch out for him while you are shooting.

I grew up in a family where guns were present, but no one really an active shooter.

I got my first air rifle at 6 and had to be content with air rifles till 12, when I got a hand me down 12ga. It was another 4 years before I ever got a .22.

Just how I was raised, I guess.

Four seems young to me, but that is an individual judgement.

What's wrong with starting him out with a Red Ryder?

Most of my generation started out with air rifles.
