He's doing very good for his age.
However, I think he's got just a tad more recoil than he should given on a regular basis for his age. Five years from now, I wouldn't see it as a problem, but at his age I'd be a bit scared depending on how many rounds per week he shoots.
I remember talking to some notable shooters and they said that, depending upon how much they shot, they developed problems in their wrists from the repetitive recoil.
Not a problem if he shoots a couple of times a week, but it is if he practices every day.
Give the kid a .22LR 1911 to practice with until he becomes a teenager- save his wrists.
He's got a good start to go far, so long as he doesn't develop any bad habits from recoil or something else- like flinching like he does in the movie.
I developed a habit of flinching at the sound of a gunshot when I was 12. Starting using ear protection, and it relieved the problem.
