[QUOTE="certherfbeef, post: 305804, member: 190"] We are not allowed to hunt with rifles here. My daughter shot a doe and filled her antlered tag useing a .410 single shot. She is 7 and skinny as a rail. The recoil was not an issue with her but the noise was. The single shot and 3" slugs make a big bang. I would suggest some type ear protection with any gun. I would also not suggest a 20 guage for a kid. I'm a wimp but the 20 guage will hit me harder than a .243 I can target shoot that .243 all day long but a few rounds in the 870 and I'm sick of it. The 870 .410 that I have is a fun gun to shoot but has it's limitations when deer hunting. Keep in mind that even a 22 will kill a deer with a well placed shot. The .410 slug has to be well placed. And Running Arrow Bill, I think you went a little off the edge with your comment, but everyone is allowed their opinions. There is nothing better than sitting in the woods enjoying the outdoors with your child. I really doubt that Boone had any intentions of turning his twins loose with a firearm anytime anywhere. Enjoy the time spent Boone. Get the kids in the hunter saftey classes and sit thru those classes with them. Teach them the right and safest way from the start. [/QUOTE]
