When my oldest son was 11 years old I borrowed a 22-250 from a friend because of the mild recoil and off we went deer hunting. He shot 4 deer that weekend with five shots. One he gutshot and had to finish him off with an extra round. The rest fell in their tracks.
Now we are talking about Texas hill country young smallish deer. But not only was he not an expert but he was a young boy who had never fired a rifle before. All shots were 80 to 100 yards.
That little 22-250 impressed me and made one very happy boy.
