Not to derail this thread too much but have you also considered getting your kid an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle?

But seriously if you want to get them into target shooting as well a nice basic Daisy with peep sights is perfect, doesn't need to be a $4000 Anschutz, FWB, or Steyr or anything, you're not competing in the Olympics.

Other than that, you're doing perfect as a parent IMO and as someone in my mid 20's I want to be like you when I have kids. BTW for Ontario I think in most places MARPAT (MARine PATtern) works quite well because it's almost like badlands mixed with green wooded areas and should be able to be found fairly cheap (in a boreal rainforest like the BC Coast I think CADPAT tends to work better because it's more green and full of ferns).
