Yes Warden Wolfe you are definitely right on this one. Trouble is that I'm all set up for 410 and Mama doesn't like caliber changes too much because she just knows what that means for me and my Midway bills. I'd love to once again be able to shoot registered skeet in the NSSA (life member of that organization), but I'm rather weak anymore in my upper extremities and have only been able to just squeak by with the 410 mainly due to its light weight. Maybe it needs a second thought. I remember setting my son up to shoot a snow hare in Wyoming during my antelope hunt. He had a cricket 22LR single shot that fit him to a tee. Perfect size and weight for him to wield around. He couldn't hit the ground if the muzzle was put into a post hole. I'm sure though at that very same range he was at, if he had a youth sized 410 with #6 shot, we'd have eaten fresh rabbit for dinner that night. Smithy.
