My kids like watching the high school shooting team. They are 8 and 10 now. We've done a lot of rifle shooting but the only shotgun I have is the full sized Remington 870 12 gauge. So they've never shot a shotgun.
The LGS has a Remington 870 Junior 20 Gauge. Looks and runs just like mine. Is this a good starter gun? Should I look for a 28 Gauge or even a 410 first? Would the smaller than 20g shot take out a clay at 16 yds? The thing I like about the 870 Junior is as the kids grow, there are longer stocks and barrels so they can keep shooting the same 20 for at least a few years. Thoughts?
