I got a .410 double barrel for my 10th birthday so that I could learn how to shoot and, more importantly, do it safely. When I was 11 or 12, they bought me a pellet gun so I could run off into the woods behind my house and plink. That is actually where I learned marksmanship. I used to set up cans and see how far back I could go and still hit them. At one point, I was able to consistently hit a can from about 40m with iron sights. I also used to work on my reflexes, setting up cans, and seeing how fast I could go from a safe position (gun facing ground and safety on) to hitting the can. That practice actually paid off pretty well--my first time skeet shooting I hit 13/15 of the skeet.
