I started my son on a lever action Marlin.
There are a ton of used guns on the market for nearly nothing.
Pistols? I bought a Ruger Single Six .22 used and it is every bit as enjoyable as my MKII.
Also, paper targets are great but they sell cheap spinner targets that seem to make young shooters happy.
Enjoy. Great start.

Great advice. I follow the same thought but start them with a single shot .22 bolt action, then on to the other styles. I make them memorize the rules of shooting too, They MUST be able to recite them from memory before they can shoot any gun. This includes air guns too.
yeah I'm a dick.
