20 gauge- I'm trying that out soon.

The only other shotgun I ever shot was an old bolt action mossberg 12 ga. I sold it a while back.

I was thinking of getting my sons something to go small game hunting with me, maybe next year. During a trip to walmart, on an impulse, I picked up a single shot NEF 410, and although it seemed close to fitting for my oldest son it was way too big for my younger son. So I figured I'd get a youth model, or two.

I took the 410 out to the range and that's a fun little gun to shoot. I think I like it too much to give it up.

Anyway I just had a little buying spree on gunbroker and picked up 2 youth 20 gauges and 2 single shot 12's. I don't know why I got both of the 12's.Those single shots hardly cost anything.

20 ga. will kick a bit more. I'll try it out and if I think the kids won't like it, maybe I'll get them fitted for 410 barrels.
