a little background first.3 years ago when my youngest was 7 i bought him a rossi trifecta .22,.243 and 20ga. barrels.he insisted on shooting the 20 after i told him to wait.he pushed so i let him.he went to the ground and the gun went into the air.needless to say me and my father in law laughed at him.he has never got over being recoil shy and the fact that we laughed at him.he has not shot any type of shotgun since.
he has started to show an interest in trapshooting since his brother and aunt both excelled in the sport and since i took the nra coaches class to help out with our sctp and aim teams.i dont really have a gun that he would be able to handle and i cant afford to get him one right now so im going to borrow one just to see how or even if he shoots it.ive got him a recoil pad to wear so im hoping that will set him at ease.
any thoughts on a good low recoil load i can pick up for him? im not a shotshell guru but im thinking something in a 7/8 oz. just to ease him into it.if this works out any thoughts on a decent gun that dosent weigh a lot.hes small for his age.any other ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.thanks
