    go buy a fabarm semi, they shoot 1 0z upward with no issue. 410 and 20's will cost you a packet to feed. everyone here so far i go into fabarm seems happy. for a gun so light they just dont kick

    Oh yeah, he really has to shot a left handed gun as he is blind in right eye I don't want ANYTHING that would potentially hit him in his only working eye. Like bits flying out of a shotgun action.

    the tightly choked .410 single HAS a purpose and gives kids a purpose..it is absolutely wicked for finishing of woundies on the water.far nicer to use than any steel load in .12ga if you leave that job for the boy,he hinself HAS A PURPOSE for being there.he is doing you favour and helping you out....making them feel important is big part of them wanting to keep doing it.... and when spoonie drake comes in and sits at 15-20 yards,get them lined up then kick wall of maimai bird lifts,pop goes wee gun and they are hooked...heck my kids have shot swan and canada goose with single .410 loads of mallards too. my Mrs fired first ever shot in anger with my insert and dropped TWO mallard drakes......
