Youth shotgun
 

Any suggestions On a shotgun for my 11 year old girl that wants to start shooting and goose hunting.
Thanks

Browning Micro Miadis. They also have a growth program where you can update the stock as your girl grows.

youth shotgun
 

I have purchased several types for youth and it comes down too how it fits the child and recoil micro midas comea in a BPS model as well as a citori in 12 or 20 gauge with as short aa 24 " Barrels. My nephew in the end hunted last fall with a benelli m2 in 20 gauge he was able to uae remington hypersteel at 1700 fps without being recoil sensitive also check out the beretta a 400 it kicks less but as of last year did not have a camo version. As a side note ensure the child is physically big enough to handle the firearms. Good luck and if you want to try some of the youth guns I have for your daughter I would be more than happy to take both of you to the local range inb athabasca so she can try them.

Remington 870 20 gauge pump last a life time

Just went through the same process for my son. We decided to buy him the youth 870 20g. He shot lots of trap last summer and knocked down some big honkers with it this fall. It's a great little gun for that price point.

I just bought my 12 year old son one of these for Christmas. I cant wait to get him out to DeWinton and see how it goes!
Like you said should last him a lifetime, easy to buy another butt stock as he grows.

My wife and my boy both shoot 870s my boy has been shooting my 12 gauge since he was 13 before that it was a 20 gauge and I bought my wife a new 20 gauge last fall for geese she loves it and it knocks geese down just as good as any 12 gauge

Thanks
 

Thanks for the advise guys

Another vote for the Remington 870 Youth 20g. My son has had his for a couple of years now and has had no issues with it.

Hard to go wrong with an 870.

Semi Auto is my only recommendation... Way less recoil!

Cheers!

Semi auto and a 11 year old? :scared0018:

What I did for my 10 year old son was pick up a cheap single shot in good shape and cut it back to fit him perfectly with a good recoil pad. This is the same thing my Dad did for my brother and I.

They are light weight, Inexpensive, you won't have to worry about field abuse and teach the kid to make there first shot count.

As the kid grows and improves there accuracy you can up grade.

In my opinion this is the best rout for getting a kid started with a shotgun and is a great way to teach the kid the importance of accuracy.

I bought the 870 youth for my kid. 20 gauge. It kicks pretty good still cause it is a pump. If you got lots of money buy a gas operated semi berretta if your worked about kick. Other than that the best and safe way to go would be the pump.

My son started with an 870 and light loads .
I always recommend making sure the gun fits, that the loads for starting are compatible to the person being able to handle them, and a good recoil pad.

I've seen lots of people complaining about their semis kicking the crap out of them, and this was because they were shooting loads to heavy for them to handle, no recoil pads, and poorly fitting guns.
Over decoys, a heavy field loads in not needed, what IS needed is a well placed shot charge.
I've done some of my best shooting over decoys with 3/4 and 1oz loads of steel in a 20 gauge with 26" barrels in a light recoiling gun that fits me.

my boy has been shooting a semi for 3 years now he will be 12 in February. its all in the training.

last time I was at Leduc Canadian tire they had a few pink camo 870 20 guage pumps. Got one for the wife lol shes 5'0" 100 lbs soaking wet she loves it and can shoot it all day without getting tired or sore. No problems with it yet.

I agree 100% about the training I just rather start kids out on something that don't have a live round in the chamber right away but that's just me everyone does stuff differtent

Mossberg
 

I bought my 10 yr old daughter a Mossberg youth 20 gauge last spring for turkey's, picked it over the 870 due to the adjustable stock and also the oversized safety button...shoots great, just had her shoot lots of #7 trap loads before any turkey loads.

Can't go wrong with the 870 either, nice little gun too
