Consider replacing the recoil pad on an older shot gun. Old recoil pads get hard and ineffective. I hope you will be always be there supervising your kids with a shotgun. Seven year-olds still enjoy shooting at each other with toy guns and they will shoot at each other with an "unloaded" shotgun too. Do they really comprehend that a gun is not a toy yet? Why not start with a weak BB gun when they are mature enough to be responsible and safe with guns? You will loose enough windows, have vehicle damage, holes in the house siding and have other property damage with young kids and just a BB gun. [Reply]   [No Email]

Usually they are light, poorly padded and kick much harder than pump shotguns, leading to poor shooting habits by the kid. Buy a Mossberg 500 youth 20 gauge pump or something similar.

A few little things that favor a young hunter on the mossberg plus it's a proven military design. That's what I did anyway and my girls love it. [Reply]  [No Email]
