I started my son off at the age of 4, he had not started kindergarten yet. I let him go to the range with me and afterward he would help me clean up. by the time he was 5 he could pretty much field strip every firearm in our house. There was no mystery to them and he was well versed in firearms safety. He started shooting at 5 1/2 with a single shot 22 and there has been no stopping him since. He is 24 now and one of the best riflemen I have ever seen. I gotta tell you, I am Proud!!
I started both my boys shooting around 5 years old. Started with a 22 single shot which they stayed on for a couple years until I bought them their own .22s. I let them decide what they wanted for their first .22. One chose a 10/22 ruger and the other wanted a pump.
My older boy is now 11 and is very good with his 10/22 but he prefers shooting my M4 now. My 7 year old is deadly with his pump .22 but has not really shown much interest in anything larger yet.
