This 2-3/4" 20 gauge shell should help with that situation.

These shells will deliver a good killing shot at the ranges that you have mentioned without spooking the kids. Practice shooting with the boys using dove loads and switch to these shells for turkey hunting. They will never feel the difference in the heat of the hunt.

Good luck.

This is what my 11 year old daughter shot last year with a borrowed 870 20 ga youth model.  These shells are FANTASTIC out to about 30 yards and the recoil is no more than a normal bird shot.  She now has the Knoxx stock on her own 870 20 ga and I'm considering moving her up to the 3" Federals this year.  I don't want to scare her so I am moving slowly since the 2 3/4 Fed HW will get the job done with the right choke.    Hope this helps.
