Youngest age you shot without adults

[Liquid21]

What is the youngest age you were allowed to shoot guns without parents or adults present ?

I'm sure most of you younger guys here in California grew up in a different world, but I grew up southern Idaho in the late 70's and guns were very common.

My dad let me take out my .22 and 20 gauge to shoot alone when I was 11 or 12. I used to walk about 1/4 miles and had open hills to shoot as long as I wanted.

I was somewhere around 18, born and raised here in so Cal... In hindsight I was clueless to the fact that a legal shooting age existed, sure as heck wasn't aware of BLM land... Just went into the hills lol
