DBArcher Report post Posted July 28 Anyone have a little single shot 410 lying around? I’d like to get a little one to cut down and customize for my 4 year old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt Report post Posted July 28 I bought a youth 410 and it was terrible. My son liked the 20g much better. But some Walmarts have the New Englands for $125. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d honestly say the 410 kicked harder than the 20. I also found reduced recoil 20g loads which made it that much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drcarr Report post Posted July 29 Some people might say that you're not thinking right by having a 4-year-old shoot a firearm; however I say:🙂 #parentingdoneright..  My currently 9-year-old granddaughter killed her first Jack Rabbit at age 5 with her pink stocked, single shot Savage "Rascal" 22 caliber rifle...🙂 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couescrazy33 Report post Posted July 29 I got my kids the mini mossberg .410 pump. Oldest is 5. Just put a red dot on it for him. Going to try and have him use the bog pod to shoot some dove this season. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He does really well with his BB gun as far as gun safety goes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couescrazy33 Report post Posted July 29 Has not shot it yet. Has shot his 22 since he was 3. The plan is to put it into the bog pod death grip and just shoot birds at water. Hoping the tripod will take most of the recoil. I have 20ga's for them but they are full size. This is the smallest .410 they make. A little bigger than the cricket 22. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegunsmith2506 Report post Posted July 29 I started my son with a .410 because I had the one I started hunting with. Ammo was expensive and hard to find. He was mostly hunting squirrels and even 3in #4 shot was marginal and he complained about recoil. For Christmas I bought him a semi auto 20ga and he loves it. Ammo is much cheaper with a ton of options and he says it kicks less. With the .410 he would stop shooting after about 10 rounds but now with the 20ga he will shoot 2 boxes with no problem. This is the one I bought him.  https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/128786/escort+heps2022054y+ps+youth+20+ga+22+4+1+3+mossy+oak+bottomland+right+hand 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
