Turned 6 in November,
More important than physical age is ability to pay attention, follow instruction, and not be instantly bored.
I *hated* the fact that I had to make her watch me shoot for 10 minutes to get the dot sight zeroed in. I know it was boring for her, and I got it done as quick as I could... but I would've much preferred being ready to go for her right away.
We spent a couple of minutes in the parking lot listening to the noise, then put the muffs on and listened again, then hit a range bay. Wanted to be sure she was OK with the noise.... Only one of the 3 bays available was busy, so sighting in was quick and easy and not noisy (no loud CF stuff going off, etc) and then we moved over to the steel plate range, which we had to ourselves.
Be prepared to leave 5 minutes after you arrive.... or stay all day. Leave it up to the kid, let them do all the shooting.
