I'm 63,started at 5 or so. Got my first gun(can't call it a firearm),a .177 cal.,Benjamin Pump at 7 yrs old. I had to wait until I was 8 for a real firearm. I got a Stevens .22/410(my dad had won,just after WW 2. I killed my first deer with it. My grandson now has it! memtb
As an addition: I got my first handgun(a Browning Nomad) at about 10 or 11, and I bought my first centerfire rifle at 13( Winchester Model 88 in .308),started handloading at 15 with a $9.99(still have it) Lee Loader,as it was the only way I could afford to shoot it. I finally got my first centerfire handgun at 16(a S&W Model 28), my mother had to sign for it,thanks to the 68 Gun Control Act.
