Start with the .22
The more reactive targets the better. My kids get tired of shooting paper after a magazine or 2 but give them a small steel target, spinner of some type, cans, bottles, etc. and they'll shoot all afternoon

And me having to explain to my brother why his son came home bald and deaf (if alive at all). I'll save that for the grown ups lol. I like the idea of a spinner target. Bet I can get an affordable one around town somewhere. I also like the idea of the shaken up soda cans. Good cheap target! Thanks guys, if you think of anything else feel free to share it!

EAR protection.
If you have lead sled, bring the 270. Let him shoot that a few times.
No lead sled unfortunately. If anyone in the Auburn/Opelika area wants to let me borrow one for a few days let me know I would like for him to see what a "big rifle" is capable of, though.

Cucumbers make great targets for a .22. The will send pieces 10 ft in the air. Best of all, you don’t have to pick up the trash when done.

Was thinking of doing some apples/oranges since they're so cheap right now at Sam's. Might add a few cucumbers. As fun as the soda sounds I imagine it would be a pain to clean up...

Start with the .22 The more reactive targets the better. ^^^ good idea; the main thing w/kids is to "have fun"; i wouldn't go TOO hard core on the safety thing tbh - YES, of course, it's important, but on the first time out, control/limit ammo, keep the barrel down-range, and let it ride ... the other thing i've learned w/kids is -- when they're done, pack it up & go on in ... if he catches on real quick, kids generally love "competition" esp if there's a prize related to it -- challenge him to shoot closest to target & put some money on the line LOL ... my girls loved stealing money out of my pocket - and of course, if they shot good, i'd pump 'em up pretty good ... but, have fun, man - these are memories you're making w/him ...
