    At age 14 I would be starting him on 20g or 12g with light loads and as stated in other posts the single shots boot but also create better shooters as they only have one shot so do learn to make it count
    My boys are 8 and 11 we all shoot with 410
    The youngest a single shot 410 he has not got the hang of wing shooting yet he’s just happy to let a couple of shots off
    The older boy is shooting a Mossberg pump 410 (started on the single shot) and has no problem taking mallards parry’s and even geese
    I shoot an u/o 410 which I believe helps as the boys know they are not disadvantaged
    tetawa, 300CALMAN and Micky Duck like this.
