get him goin into target shooting take him to a trap range and let him use a 20ga. and if you get into it, it really is a family occation my brother, dad and i have been shooting trap for a while now it gets to be a very fun thing my brother is shooting about 30 out of 50 and he is only 14 years old, but if you dont want to get your kid into that just go with i little bit high powered bb gun, dont go with like the daisys you can buy at wal-mart, they are crap and will break easy, get one that you can mount a scope on and get good with, good usually runs about $100 for a BB gun.. \n\nHope this helps

it really depends on the area you are playing. i bought an automatic submachinegun that has long range, accurate, and power, but it's $300. if you buy the rifle, you should buy a pistol for back up if someone comes right at you. just e-mail me if you have any question

Go with an Armor lite AR 50. Extremely accurate. Weigh about 45 lbs.The compensator makes it feel like your shooting a 270 so you wont kill your arm. Has a detachable box magazine. Very nice to shoot.

Ihavea great anschutz mod.1451 that shoots great, but if you want something little cheaper check out CMP for a kimber mod. 82 it's a great gun and it's only $600. They also have other great quality rifles for good  prices.

It totally depends where you live.  In some states or cities, you can buy either a pellet gun or airsoft at 14 and its no problem.  In other places you can't buy either one untill your at least 18 and 21 if its a realistic looking handgun replica. \n\nJust call Wal-Mart here you live and ask them or go to the sporting goods department and look around.  They usually have any age restictions posted near the airguns if you have to be a certain age to buy them.  Make sure you have an adult teach you about how to use either of these types of airguns safley and get permission before you buy one.  Hope that helps.

I suggest a nicer spyder.  Something on the lines of an Electra or an Imagine.  The electra is a great lightweight gun that is perfect for aggressive front players.  with the right hopper it should be able to shoot at least 20 balls per second depending on your shooting skill.  It has the rocking trigger which is really helpful.  If you are really skilled you can get it to shoot 27, 28 balls per second.  I reccomend this gun highly since i have used it.  You can get it for like 250 dollars.  Great Gun

I like the Glock 23 myself but i am about to purchase the Glock 17L, they are very good for target practice.

I think you should have several. A Mossburg 590 12 guage is good. You should have a simi auto hand gun, and either an AR 15 or a AK-47.

For an overall shotgun I would go with a pump Benelli Nova. I got one in Sept. and it is great. I've used it on quail, dove, and rabbits. Hopefully sometime I'll get to use it on ducks. It was $300 synthetic black stock. It comes w/3 choke tubes and can handle up to a 3 1/2" shell. For the quality and price I couldn't resist it. If you are left-handed be warned the safty can be a hassel. It is in front of the trigger guard instead of a Remington which is behind. I put the nove beside the strip down 870 (Remington) and I would be almost embarrased to be seen w/the plain 870 plus it was more money too. My dad had an 870 Wingmaster 12ga. (high gloss barrel and stock)and had had it for over 25years used it every year put through tons of shells and has never had a problem still looks almost new too. You can't go wrong with what you are looking for. \n\nGood Luck....\n\nDon

i think the tippmanns are the best for three reasons.  the first one is that it is a great beginner gun.  it has 150 feet of accuracy right out of the box. it is also tournament grade right out of the box. second is it is a very reliable gun.  i have banged mine against so many trees and bunkers and it hardly has a scratch on it.  third and best of all its the only one you ll ever need.  as you get better you can upgrade the gun so much you can own those $1000+ guns and still have it cost half as much.

Welcome to the world of target shooting. \n\nA couple of things..\n \nFirst - enroll in a handgun class offered by a multitude of instructors. If none are local you may wish to find one out of area. This will give you the basics of handgun operation.\n\nSecond - decide what extent you wish to obtain. Set goals and pursue them.\n\nThird - Now that you're familiar with equipment go buy the best you can afford.  Don't be afraid to buy used..some great deals out there for beginners.\n\nVideos are nice. Books aren't much for experience but offer good tips on equipment. The hands on instructor is inexpensive (usually 50 bucks an hour) and has guns you can use for the course.\n\nSome nice entry level accurate guns:\nRuger Mark II Competition Slabside - 22Lr - about $300 used\nSmith and Wesson model 19 - 38spl - about $150 used\nSpringfield mil spec - 45acp - $400 new\n\nGood luck and congratulations on choosing a great hobby.\nPS. wanna try something really fun? go to a search engine and type in Cowboy Action Shooting. You might get hooked...Pard.

for target shooting or hunting go with a savage model 110 in a 308 the gun is super accurate and the price is about 375 dollars \nthe ammo is cheap and easy to find with light recoil\nif using mainly for target go with the bull barrel it expels heat better and makes for tighter groups it may be a bit heavy to hunt with tho\nalso go with a good quality scope because ur rifle is only as good as ur optics i would go with a burris with parralax adjustments \nit will cost u about as much as the gun but well worth it
