Too Young To Start Shooting

[bob lyons]

When my children were young I picked up a youth model 1100 20 gauge which they all used until they were big enough to shoulder a standard size gun.
This gun worked great, some what a heavy gun and recoil was good, now I’m planning to try the RST 2.5 “ shells for the next generation.
Now with a large group of grandchildren coming up the 1100 has come out of the closet or again.
The next best one is a Bennelli 28 gauge legacy very light weight and very low recoil.
Keep the recoil as low as possible for kids.

Bob, I had an issue with ejecting the spent shells with RST's in my 1100 special field 20's and 12's. Some times they would kick them out and sometimes not.
