Default Taking a newbie

Taking my now 7 yo grandson turkey hunting this spring. He has gone with me 2 or 3 times with his interest apparently increasing. Tried to let him kill one last year, but couldn't get them close enough. This year, I have a Mossberg youth model 20 ga. that I have equipped with an extra-full Turkey choke that I think he can handle adequately (he is big for his age). Hope to get him out for our Youth Hunt the first weekend in April (before the birds get educated) and perhaps some other time during the season. I will probably let him shoot some low-power 2 3/4 in loads through an improved cylinder choke to get him familiar with the gun, then load with 3 in Hevi-Shot with the extra-full turkey choke for the hunt.
