Michigan - Yes its the Rossi 20ga. Both my boys have used it as their first gun. They've taken coyotes, deer, and doves with it. The recoil was a bit much for an 8 year old untilI put a limbsaver slip on recoil pad on it.They both enjoy shooting it.They both have rifles now. As soon as they can drawa 45lb bow, I'm going to get them into bowhunting.
