I had a BB gun when I was about that age. Just need to have a talk with them and let them know it is real and not a toy.

Absolutely, My grandson is 11 and its perfect for him, not to overbearing. The scope isn't the best so we removed it. He cant fire it unless a grown up is with him just cause kids are kids.

This is a powerful gun. I have an 11 year old son and am hesitant for him to use without supervision. Could do serious damage to himself others or property especially with pellets. Hope this helps.

Yes u do! And some helpful advice I wouldn't purchase this unless it's for someone younger =) :) My boys love this gun but my eldest son dislikes it

Yes, it is. My daughter is 8 so she needs help but an 11 years old should be fine

The rifle and scope combined are probably too heavy for a 12 year old. I'm an avid squirrel hunter in the swamps of north Florida and my bolt action 22 with a big leupold scope is lighter than the wood stock Crossman. Target shooting off hand will not be much fun for a 12 year old. Check the specifications on weight. I forget what it weighs but it is, I'm almost sure, well over 6 lbs.

Ehh I'd wait til he/she was 14-16 Its pretty heavy (i use a rest usually and im 24yrs old 6'2 180lbs) There is a little bit of recoil which could scare them. its a bit noisy If u don't use heavy pellets (can break the sound barrier creating a sonic boom) and the piston action is tough to actuate. even after its broken in after 100 shots or so. Plus it has enough muzzle energy to kill or maim animals easily. I'd stay with a multipump or lever action bb gun til he/she is older. I actually have a 20$ one from Walmart that's fun as heck and just the right fit for a 12 year old. Get 500 BBS and some tin cans and its fun for hours for dirt cheap. This gun is for doing work on vermin or shooting tacks at 50 feet.

Yes. We actually purchased for our 5 year old daughter because other nerf guns were hard for her to handle. This one is easy and she battles her 10 year old brother like a champ.

Yes I'd consider it a beginners level....we purchased it for our 14 yr old. He enjoyed Nerf guns and then the UZI.

Both my son's had no problems and they were 7-9 at the time. Very good gun for that age range in my opinion.

It was for me...I'm 40...LOL. My son is 13 and he plays with it sometimes. We have nerf wars in the house.

I'm not sure for an 11 year old. I bought them for my 9 year old granddaughter who specifically asked for them for her birthday. I also am sending to my 7 year old granddaughter. If the 11 year old is into the hair things I would say yes, but if she's not, then I would think something else. The 9 year old granddaughter has a 12 year old sister, who is not into the hair things and she wanted a American girl doll for her birthday, so that's what I got her. Hope this helps.

The height is adjustable, so I'm sure it would work well for an 11-year-old.

Yes, it would be appropriate for an eleven year old. However, I am currently waiting for a replacement unit, as it was defective.

Yes. I. Think its perfect for 6 to 10 ish...not nearly as powerful as an airsoft but can still shoot it far enough.

well, given that it has easily removable limbs attached to ball joins, I would say no. BUT - there are others that are cheaper and much sturdier that you can find on Amazon and they will hold up well to the kind of play activities 11-year olds will put them through. Hope this helps.

Hi Laurie. From ages 10-15 for both boys and girls..... into the teen years it is more dependent on how long their draw length becomes due to growth (longer the arms=longer draw length). Notables: You need to add a nock and adjust sights for the shooter. For a small framed female adult, this could be a good starter tartget bow as well. 2 thumbs up from 2JBs.

It is a gun that shoots hollow rubber bullets. I would give it to a mature 10 year old, absolutely.

No, i would say this would be for at least a 11 year old. A 5 year old would not be strong enough to shoot this bow. They do have other bows for younger shooters though
