I got the 20 ga. 870 youth ready to go. I have a Limbsaver slip on recoil pad on it to get the proper length of pull. TruGlo pro series sights and using a Jellyhead Max choke. I settled on Federal strut shok #5 ammo. I also tried Remington Nitro, Winchester XX, Triple Beards, Federal Premium, and Third Degree. All of these shells would work at my 30 yard max range, but the Strut Shok was the most consistent and even pattern.
