Thread: Getting the boy ready for next season

Apologies for not reading properly. I would only cut the stock down for a start and after he has shot a few on clays, load 2 (1 in the gun and 1 in the mag)
In my opinion the best targets for new shooters are going straight away rising birds or straight incoming. Open chokes and 24gm 8's and he should be good to go (and so should you).
You have given him a better chance with a decent gun and good guage rather than a horrible single barrel most start with.
