Had a nice outting, hot, but nice. Had 21 Boy Scouts and 11 adults. We shot about 800 clays. I took the 20 gauge Nitro Special and another adult brought his 12 gauge Nitro Special. I’m trying hard to get the kids interested in sxs shotguns. I actually got worn out from shooting which is very odd. Last time we had 2 16g and a 12 and 20 Sxs. It’s always a good time to take kids shooting.

Any time we can get kids interested in shooting is a great thing for the sport! Every young person should be so lucky to be introduced to a SxS shotgun.

Thanks for your efforts and congratulations on your participation level!

Let the kids shoot a light recoiling auto or O/U-- the drop and recoil from vintage SxS's recoil too much and are not as easy to shoot!

Our club has been crawling with Scouts, FFA, and other youth organizations this year! A great sight to see!

Dodging lions and wasting time.....

I also had a couple of 20 gauge montifeltros in 20g and my Beretta 390 in 12 which has less recoil than a 20. They had plenty to choose from. For the 12 G SxS I reload 1oz loads with 17.5 grains of American Select. That’s a Flues safe load for my 12 and has pretty much no recoil. I’m not trying to kill them, just teach them and let them have fun.
