Your post and this thread has a lot of false assumptions.
I'm okay with the opinions, as long as you don't expect others to follow your opinions.
If it is legal and you are capable, do it, and don't worry about the opinions of others.

First, you don't know what parents have or have not taught their children.
To assume all youth hunters have not hunted small game and or varmints in the 5-7 year old range would be incorrect for my children.
To assume they were not out hunting with their dad, before they started hunting, would false as well

Our daughter has never shot a BB gun, but started with a single shot 22lr and was shooting paper at 5 on up.
Erik never shot a bb gun or 22lr, he just jumped to center-fire specialty pistols at 9 years old, and was shooting out past 500 yard steel on his second day doing it.

Around 7 Kristen was shooting prairie dogs at over 100 yards with that chipmunk 22lr rifle and with my center-grip 221 Fireball XP-100. The Chipmunk still has the same scope on it.

I forgot what was the youngest age, you could hunt deer was in Kansas back in the day.
But her very first year, she shot her buck at 285 yards with a single-shot MOA Maximum pistol in 260 Remington.
She never used a rifle, but used the MOA Maximum and a center-grip 6mm-284 XP-100.
I am not going to list all of her hunting, but making a point, that some kids start young, and in a number of ways can out shoot adults from the bench and from the field.

You can have all of your ideology, ethics, and what you think is right or wrong, but that doesn't make it so.

Don't let others bind their ethics on you or your children. Don't let their limits control you.
A friend of mine said this recently: "Don’t let others limitations get confused with ethics or become your own limitations."

If it is legal and you are capable, do it, and don't worry about the opinions of others.

Sometimes I kill big game at under 40 yards with one of my handguns, and at other times I may kill one at 1,000 yards with one of my specialty pistols.
I hunt the way I want (Dependent up on that states game laws of course), depending on my mood, the amount of practice I have put in, atmospheric conditions, the terrain, etc..
My max distance limit with the very same weapon is going to be different, based on a number of factors.

Maybe we should be more supportive of other sportsmen, sportswomen, and their children, without attempting to bind our own sense of right and wrong on others.
We wonder sometimes why the tide moves against us.
Sometimes we are our own worst enemy
