A late 80's/ early 90's vest from Mossy Oak --- The original stuff they put out when they first started.  That vest and I have worked on many a gobbler.  I just had to have a jumpsuit and a vest (it was the cheapest way to get what I wanted, at the time), unfortunately, the size medium is getting harder to fit in for the jumpsuit.  One day I'll loose this extra lbs and get back to a medium.

I will say, I have an old vest that goes with me too, this allows for a folding swivel chair or a closed cell foam pad.  The vest is an old late 80's early 90's mossy oak vest.  That thing just has to go with me, why?  It just is part of the ensemble.

I know a lot are going .410, I'll say look at the Mossberg Sa-28 youth bantam --- The gun has a short lop, good ergonomics for sighting down the bore, and more shot in the shell, a little more recoil, but also more thump, too.  This gun can also be great with wing shooting, trap, skeet, squirrels, etc.  It will help him learn these other sports.  The .410 can do all these things too, but the 28 can do it better.  At 10, her or a she should be should be plenty big enough to handle this round.

Quote from: Yoder409 on Today at 06:41:14 AMRed Ryder BB gun first.  No noise.  No recoil.  But gets the process of shooting going in her head.  Use a reactive target like a soup can (safety glasses !!).

When she's ready to graduate to a .22, use CB or Short ammo.  Baby steps. 

She'll be ready only when SHE'S ready.  Better to wait til next season than rush things, if need be.
Agreed, she doesn't sound like she's ready for it.  Start with a bb gun.  You two go pick it out, get one that has enough ummph that will hit where you aim, consistently, maybe even one that will gravitate to a pellet as well. 
Also, do you have a crossbow?  My four year-old granddaughter loves shooting mine (supervised, of course), that gives noise, some recoil, and fun for her.

Quote from: eggshell on Today at 06:20:59 AMLooking through this thread it is obvious what is important to most of us. It's not social standing or status, it's the love of those close to us. I hope those seeking fame and recognition aren't too disappointed they didn't even make the list. OG is full of just plain good hearted people.
Amen Eggshell!  Amen!  No Drama or Bull, just GOOD PEOPLE period!

Quote from: deadbuck on February 19, 2026, 10:26:13 AMAt one time I remember some company toying with a 3.5 inch 20 gauge shell. Maybe that needs to resurface to get the 20 gauge guys more performance from lead

How many guys have a 20g chambered for 3.5" shells?

Mini me isnt so mini anymore. I think he is a good foot taller than when he killed his first gobbler and is now getting dangerously close to passing me. All good though. Jiffypop and Eclair better watch out. He doesn't take prisoners.
