[QUOTE="nodakex, post: 153449, member: 1445"] One of the youth leaders says they have a few that start with 20 gauges, but most switch to 12's by the end of the year. He likes the used Remington 1100 or 1187, or the Winchester super x 3, some have stoegers that hold up well, but there are always parts for the remingtons. Our club started 4 years ago with 42 students, had 92 this last spring. One of the things we do is provide the targets free of charge, which is why we have to do a little fund raising, did not anticipate it getting this big. We have both fall and spring league, and last year had 4 girls in the top 10 in Minnesota. Its interesting once they shoot a few rounds how well they do. I shot next to a 13 year old in regular league the night she got her first 25, the excitement and enthusiasm is incredible. She told me the first night of youth when she started she had a 4 and a 6. You don't want them to get discouraged. Sure the 20 will break targets, but they will get a bird or two more with the 12, and a light youth 20 has too short a barrel and kicks every bit as much as a semi-auto 12. [/QUOTE]
