RE: Question On 410 And Buckshot For Deer
Thanks so much to all that responded to my question on the 410 shotgun.I think after reading your replies that I will get some slugs for his gun.Also has anyone here shot slugs from a Mossberg 500 full choke and did it do ok for you?Also my boy just turned 8 years old and shooting 3 inch magnums is all he can handle now in his 410 as that rocks him pretty good as he weighs only 64 pounds so I dont want him getting recoil shy.I have a brand new Remington Wingmaster 20 gauge for him as he gets older but that is way to much recoil for him right now also.On his Mossberg 410 his arms are not quite long enough to hold up the forearm so I got a stoney point shooting stick he shoots from.This is his first year deer hunting and he was standing beside me last week when I killed a doe and he wanted to walk up on it and touch it with his gun to make sure it was dead like he had seen on the deer hunting videos I have.His shots will never be more than 30 yards at the most as where I hunt is super thick and close shots is all I ever get there but lots of deer.Once again thanks to all that replied!
