To buy yourself it's 18 in most states. I started shooting at about 8 or 9 as a boy. My father taught us young so we'd know to treat guns with respect, and handle them safly. But for a number of years we were only allowed to handle them under his supervision of course. We were not allowed to hunt until we had proven we could handle a gun safly at all times and stoot it accuratly as well.

This is not unusual in this country, I taught both my daughters at about 12. One shoots target with me, the other has no interest.
