I taught my boys with a single shot Stevens 12 Ga.
They never had a problem shooting the 12Ga.
Later, they moved to the 16ga Remington Semi.

Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

   Not that frustrating !!!  lol   :dunno: :sry:  Get em a bow and lots of arrows but make sure you put a turkey adder behind the field point works like a champ. That or a 10/22 deadly for grouse. :tup: :tup: either but 3 words.   PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.

I grew up shooting grouse with a single shot H&R 20 gauge with a fixed modified choke.  Over the last 30 years I've probably shot a couple hundred grouse with it.  I have around 10 shotguns in my safe from O/U to autos but still go for that old single every single time I go hunting for dumb chickens.

Nice!

I'm using G5 outdoors SGH, I seem to get less glancing blows than the spring type and more near decapitations.  I shoot at the base of the neck so less ducking the arrow, lot of times I get some of the back too, but so far clean breasts and no pellets and feathers in the meat  :tup:

I'm pretty much done using a shotgun, unless I'm behind a bird dog, then I try to get a wing on the flush.

I got my first grouse (and first hunting kills ever) this weekend with a 10/22 I picked up a couple weeks back.

Here's my grouse getter, a Stevens .410.  I used to have the .410/22 O/U version, but lost it several years ago and replaced it with the straight .410.

This pic is from last week in WY, sage grouse shot by my kid.
