When i first started hunting at 13 my first shotgun was a 410. I could not count how many pheasant and grouse i took with that thing. Now for duck and goose...... Not sure, would have to be one good shot i think. It's a good starter shotgun for sure. If he can master a 410 to where he hits all the time. You better watch out for him when he gets a 12. He might just shoot you under the table
. Always nice to hear these stories. Keep us posted.
