I started taking my son on sheep hunting trips when he was 4 yrs. old, and the little bugger could climb mountains with no problem. He started to shoot a .22 at this age as well. he didn't hit many gophers but it was all about getting him comfortable shooting. He moved to a .243 win when he was 6 yrs. old and never looked back. We go out a fair amount in the summer time and shoot gophers, and he is pretty good at hitting gophers out at the 100 yrd. mark. He still gets buck fever when we go deer hunting, and all you have to tell him just take your time and then he can shoot good.
