Title: 1st with a 20.
Post by: dirt road ninja on April 23, 2012, 08:51:51 AM
I purchased a 11-87 youth gun back in December for my 8 year old to use, but after playing with it I started to carry sometimes. Well, Saturday afternoon I killed my first bird with a 20 gauge. It rolled him the same as my 12 does. It was the gun's 2nd of the year, my son busted one youth weekend with it. The little gun is a joy to hunt with and carry. I might put together a 870 after the season.

Got my first last year with a 20, man I love these things.  Definately makes it hard to choose between the little 20 or the old 12.

Congrats!!! Took my last two this year with an 870 20. The 12ga SBE will probably grow roots in the safe:)
