My son doesn’t look his age in the pictures, but he’s 14. He also has problems handling a full sized semi autos and pumps. It would be especially difficult from a coffin blind. He used a Mossberg 20gauge pump. It’s a youth model. The stock had spacers you can add to the gun as they grow. He’s pretty tall, and has long arms, so the stock is as long as a full sized model. The barrel is 20” of 22”, I can’t remember. The shorter barrel length, really seems to help him a lot. He was using a full choke, with 3 inche number 2 size steel shoot.
I haven’t been able to find a bigger size steel shot, in 20 gauge. He can handle the recoil and shot well with a 12 gauge, from over and unders, and pumps with shorter barrels. Once the barrels start getting long, he has difficulty using them.
Like I said, I wish I could find bigger size shot, but #2’s in the 20 did the job. Makes me wonder why I’m beating myself up, using BB shot in 3 1/2” shells.
