Thank you for the kind words-- One of several reasons I'm saving the 28 gauge field gun for my oldest of two grandsons (he's already being a good safe shot with .22's) is that he'll have a better chance on game birds (and clays) with the 28 ga. than a .410 (IMO)-- I started with a 20 gauge single shot when I was 11- then my Dad's M12 20 gauge when I was 12-- but one shell only, as with the Stevens. When I was 16, I could load it with 3 shells--
I'll start him with that same drill- Just hope he'll have some chances on game birds in years to come--hard to predict the future, but I'm a hoping!!
