RE: My 12 year old just got his license - gun help
I would go w/ the 20 gauge. For target shooting he can use the reduced recoil or skeet rounds. But he can still use it for turkey hunting, deer hunting and small game. The 20 gauge is great because he won't out-grow it like a .410 Also where do you live, because if there is a Gander Mtn. near you thats your best bet, if not try your local Wal-Mart or gun shop.
