How many Americans rely on hunting?
Over 300 million hunters reside in the United States. This means that hunters are twice as numerous as those who live in New York City.
Hunting has been a popular American pastime for centuries. Today, however, hunting for sport is less popular than ever. According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS), only 2 percent of the population hunts regularly. The percentage of young adults hunting is even lower.
Although hunting may seem like an outdated pastime, older generations still love it. According to a survey, 68% of baby boomers expect to hunt once again when they are older. Hunting is an opportunity to reconnect with nature and experience the outdoors.
For younger generations hunting is not necessarily a priority. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation 18% of millennials are avid shooters.
FWS works hard to ensure that America's wild places are accessible to all.
In 2014, the agency launched its "Wild Lands" campaign to raise awareness about public lands across the country. The goal is to educate people about the importance of preserving these areas and encourage them to visit them.
The Wild Lands initiative encourages conservation efforts. FWS and National Rifle Association formed a partnership to create Project Gunter, a youth-oriented shooting sports program. This program helps children learn how to safely handle firearms, as well as safety and marksmanship skills.
Project Gunter is expanding to include minorities and women. It has resulted in more children learning to shoot guns and taking part in wildlife conservation.

So that your child can pick the right weapon for him, he should be able to understand how they work. Consider the weapon's size, weight, power, accuracy, and power when selecting a weapon. A.22 caliber rifle would make a great starter rifle. It is easy to handle and powerful enough for pests such squirrels to be killed. A 12-gauge shotgun, on other hand, is large enough to comfortably hold and has the power to kill any animal. Children who are learning to shoot can use airguns because they are quiet and simple to use.

Another option would be to purchase a gun from the store and show your kid how to load and unload. Another option is to buy a dog to teach your child how to train it. Dogs are great because they follow commands easily and obey quickly. They can also be fun to play and become friends with your child.
If none or all of these options appeal to them, you can hire someone else to teach your child. However, this method is expensive and requires a lot of babysitting.
