Thread: 20ga or 410 for beginners?

The 410 is an expert's gun, the very small pay load means there is no margin of error. At least with a 20g and 7/8oz light loads there is some pattern density to help the kids hit something.
For all those advocating using a 12 gauge with light loads I hear you, but it will not work with smaller framed kids that have to lean way back to hold it up.
Better to have a lighter 20 gauge that they can learn good front foot technique.
