My 7 year old's second time shooting.

I bought a little Cricket for her to use with an adorable little scope. She was pretty excited to create a hole in the target lol! 20m bench

I envy you so much. My 2-year old shot a full mag of .22LR from a handgun but couldn't hit the paper target at all. I feel like I failed as a parent.

Maybe try nerf guns to start. Let him observe the ballistic arc of the foam darts in the air.

That might help him build spatial awareness of what the projectiles actually do
