yes, but that gun is just nice. We've had a couple in 12 gauge and got rid of them for some stupid reasons. It wasn't that much lighter than the 12'sremember, less gun weight, increases recoil.

After teaching / coaching youth for years with firearms I would say each kid is different and I let them decide when the time is right. My son was7 when he killed a deer with a 16 ga single, 10 yo when he shot my Ithaca 10 gauge and wanted one real bad right then. He has always been a big kid but watching and listening to the kid tells you when they are ready. Btw he got that a browning bps 10ga when he was 15...
Like @lasttombstone said a bad xperince will ruin them for quite some time. @hawkman contact me via pm I may have a solution for u if we can work out logistics.
Sorry if that came off like I was disparaging what you did with your kid it was actually the opposite... I think that letting your kid tell you when they want to change guns is the way to go for sure and for some they don’t need to. I have instructed / shot with a lot of adults that could have used that lesson less is sometimes more especially with recoil.I certainly agree that each kid is different, but after watching my kids put shot after shot on target with clean ethical kills by the dozens, I'm convinced I've handled them appropriately. I can't say that for other kids I've been around.
I'm surprised how many of you said you personally stick to 20-ga for everything and B) I need to read up on TSS shot and the benefits.
