Teach your kids to shoot bump!
I used to take my daughter to the county range after she became old enough to be allowed to shoot there. No one taunted her as best I can remember, but even if they had I think the taunts would have stopped when they saw the tight little groups she could shoot offhand at 25 yards with her .38 revolver.
I started teaching her and her brother to shoot in a rural field near our home with a .22 revolver and a .22 rifle when she was about 10 years old and he was about 5 or 6. Later on she moved up to shooting my .45 revolver and a 20 gauge pump shotgun. Now she's 45 YO and can shoot better than me or her brother any day of the week with any type of firearm that any of us own. It's no big deal to shoot better than me and my 69 YO eyes, but there's nothing wrong with my son's eyesight and she can outshoot him as well.
Now I have a 9 YO grand-daughter who shoots a .22 pistol, and a 4 YO grand-son who can hardly wait to get started. My g-grandfather taught my grandfather to shoot with a muzzle loading rifle his father brought home from the War Between the States, he taught my father, my father taught me, and I taught my kids. Now it's their turn to teach and I'm loving watching them do it. I just wish I had the old muzzle loader to hang over the fireplace, but I guess it was turned into scrap iron many decades ago.

When I first took her to the range after our marriage, she got some odd looks. After a 25 M target full of head shots, she got a whole different set of looks : )
