Shooting & gun size/power with kids?

[Ray]

My first gun was a crack barrel .410/.22 over and under that my grand mother
gave me. I still have that gun.
I shot it one year in the first grade, then my day bought me a Western Auto
.410 pump. I think it is a Revelation brand. The stock was cut to fit me and
I still have it too.
Then in the 5th grade, I graduated to a 12 ga. Winchester pump that my dad
got from someon who owed him money. That was in the last days of paper shotgun
shells.
I loaned that gun to my sister and her son and Hurricane Rita took it along with
their house.
