Another option to get a kid out hunting is a crossbow, if they can manage the weight. Dad coudl cock and load it, and hand it to Junior, and junior just needs to aim at grouse and shoot.
Mmmm...Beer

Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

My son (just turned 11) shoots a 25# recurve (used to shoot a 20# fiberglass) and I take him out stump shooting with me. He is still working on consistant accurracy but that has to do with him. The poundage has to do with this as well (until he builds up to it). I would like to see the poundage lowered for small game (to be described in the regulations) for youth archers. I don't have a lot of experience shooting grouse with a bow but I can't believe you wouldn't get the job done with a 15-25# bow within 15 yards. Another tip to consider is the Ace Hex head for small game.
