He is 6 and tall but thin he has shot my wife's 1187 20 gauge with bird shot through a turkey choke. I had been hearing about the reduced recoil and wanted to see if it was available in the 243. He has a 22 chipmunk that was mine at his age and shoots it pretty well. I may just let him shoot the 243 at a deer like some have said they did before letting him experience the kick and him getting jerky on the trigger.
