skeet shooting and target shooting are not crimes, and neither is possession of a weapon if you meet the minimum age requirement or are under supervision of a legal adult.

murder is a crime.

the parent giving a minor a weapon means that parent trusts that minor to be responsible with that weapon. no parent should ever hand their kids a gun if the parent is not absolutely sure the kid knows the basics of shooting safety, and has the minimum level of integrity to not commit a murder with it. (unless of course the miner is receiving instruction in the responsible handling of guns)
