Totally agree with your sentiments. I think that firearm asfety and target shooting (small calibre or air rifle) should be part of the sport's activity at school.
It is one of the few sports that is truly equal for male and female, young or old.
We should educate children from 8 ro 9 years old how to respect, handle and make safe a firearm; as well as understand what it can and can't do; you will reduce the number of accidents. You will reduce the psychose and fear that is pushed by anti gun lobby.

In France, children can join the a club from 7 yearsof age. My daughter has been shooting since 7. Now at 9 she is doing very well with our 10m air rifle and also with the Lee Enfield .22's.
Her she's shooting the 1918 SMLE. followed by our 10m targets, she beat me fare and square!

Thats AWESOME! Looks like you have been coaching her I don't think there is a age limit at our club, I think the staff looks at that maturity level of each child.
