I'm shopping for my son's first shotgun (be his christmas present this year). He is only 7 but has been shooting 22s for a couple years. So far, the mossberg mini 510 with it's 10.5" LOP is the only shotgun that I've found that will fit him without alteration. My concern is that the 20 ga will have too much recoil. I'd rather not go with the 410 because he love shooting at sporting clays with me. He has been using one of my old 410s that he has to stick under his arm and can only hit the ones going directly away from him. I've searched the board and people have suggested using the Fiocchi 20 ga lite trainers. My question is, might that still have too much recoil for a 7 year old? I don't want him to develop a flinch.
Has anyone shot the combination of 20 ga trainer shells in the mossberg mini? Any feedback or experience would be much appreciated.
