My Grandson ( 14 yrs ) has said he wants to go to the range next time I take one of my AR`s out . He currently has a .410 over and under and a .22 he squirrel hunts with ( supervised , on private land ) , so he has some experience . FWIW , I bought my first .22 when I was 12 and still have it ( Winchester Mdl 69A ).

What suggestions do you guys have to make this a fun , and safe , intro ( private range/gun club and also with the father`s permission ) ?

Probably start him on my beater PSA with a red dot and then go to the Colt 6920 .

First step will be a rule/safety "discussion " .

Looking forward to starting a new shooter on the AR journey .

Thanks
