Problem with a 20 is most youth models stocks just put massive recoil on the shoulder, and most dads are way to cheap to buy a youth auto, but then again those same dads would also be to cheap to buy 28 shells so it boils down to two types of dads.
Dads that buy auto loaders or dads that are from the get tough or die school of thought.
