I let my stepdaughter first shoot a .22 at 5, and my oldest biological daughter at 4. My other two kids are 2 and 1 and its hard to know when they'll be ready. I don't know that I'd take them to a public range at that age, but I decided they were mature enough to shoot in my side yard with me supporting and pointing the gun for them and instructing them when to put their finger on the trigger and when to pull the trigger.
