A .410 shotgun. I was 14 years old. I taught both my step sons and my 2 boys to hunt with it as well. I will teach my grandchildren with it one day too.

A Revelation .410 single shot shotgun that my dad bought for me from some friends. I think I was about 8.
He still has it. I looked at it the other day when I was over there.

Winchester 94. Used it to shoot my first deer. Still in the safe, but I can't remember the last time I even got it out.

An old .22 lever action my uncle gave me that my mom made me keep at my grandparents house - she didn't want any guns in the house. I was 8.

A Noble, .22 pump I borrowed, then bought shortly after from a cousin for $25 when I was 12. Still have it. First deer rifle was a J.C.Higgins (Marlin) lever action 35 Remington with a 4X8 Weaver scope I bought for $100 when I was 16 from my boss who owned the gas station I worked at after school & weekends.

At six years old it was a Daisy BB gun. Later a pellet gun. Then about 12 years of age I got a Winchester single shot bolt action 22 rifle. It had to be hand loaded for each shot as it didn't have a tubeler magazine or clip.
I wanted a automatic 22 rifle but my dad said "First you have to learn to how to kill a squirrel with only one shot". I guess he knew I would probably get trigger happy if I owned a auto.

Besides my Daisy BB Gun, it was a Marlin .22LR bolt action magazine fed rifle (my oldest nephew has it now) at 10 years old. Then a Winchester model 1200 12 gauge pump shotgun. I was the envy of the neighborhood kids, by having that Winchester pump shotgun at 12 years old... The Winchester 1200 is now in the safe in semi-retirement, since it was a present from my grandpa.

Ditto. 8 years old when daddy gave it to me but I did know it was mine for a few more years, when I grew up, got married and started taking all my things from home to the new home. LOL.
I came out with a 12 gauge pump and 30.30 that I had bought myself and he said something like, what, you didn't like the .22 I gave you???  He never told me he was giving it to me. He just said make sure I take care of it.

Youth sized Winchester .22 rifle. I think I was 9 or ten. It was really my parents gun, of course, but when we went out plinking, it was the one that I used.

Started with a Daisy, many days were spent hunting big game with it, as I knawed the corners off of Jack O'Connors book.
Then a hand me down J.C. Higgins single shot 22. I soon graduated to a Winchester lever action 22 (can't remember the model #, maybe 66?)
Then the first high power was a Remington 788 in 22-250 with a 6X Weaver scope that I purchased new.

Daisy Red Ryder BB gun when I was 4 or 5.
First real gun was a Marlin Single Shot .22 Bolt Action when I was in 3rd grade.
I still have the BB gun and I sold the .22 to my cousin 'bout 35 years ago. His Grandson hunts with it now.
