"Too much will cause pain and flinching - two very bad things."

I definitely don't want to do that. I need to either get a heavier gun that fits them better, or get a smaller gauge barrel. I'm not willing to start reloading shotgun shells yet, that's a whole new ball game. I'll forget about slugs, and they can use a smaller shotgun for small game. So I might go for a 28 gauge barrel, because I can get 28 ga. shells for about the same price as 20 gauge in fort lauderdale. And maybe I'll shorten the stock a bit, too.

I think I'll get a youth rifle for bigger game and handload for the kids, like clemson suggested.

Thanks for the advice, guys!
