remi700 99 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Learn to shoot with a .410 and you'll be a better shot because of it. Tight patterns and no room for error will make become you a better shot. You'll need deep pockets though!! Its up to you, it can be done though. Atb Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ratsmasher 36 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 tbh your better off finding an equally nice looking 12 bore and you wont have to pay as much and you'll do better with it...and if you want to shoot with tight patterns just stick full and 3/4 choke in 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barraboy 28 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 my little lad is learning to shoot with his single barrel .410. he's on easy clays at the minute but first outing today on a slow incomer and he smashed them for fun even with a mighty 12.5 g cart. so yes you can shoot clays with a .410 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
open season 21 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 nice pictures of your lad shooting sounds like he is doing well nice one bud and good luck to your lad the 410s are a really nice size gun i think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fat-Ferret 857 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I do like the 410 myself, although for clay shooting I couldnt say, as I dont shoot clays... They are a good gun & I have shot a good variety of stuff with my own - There not just for rats as people like to tell you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost scouse 46 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 fat ferret thinking on getting a 410 for my son to learn about shotguns but want to use it myself how good are they for bunnies and roost shooting and anything else Degsy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lampalurcher 47 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I have a old fold up Belgium 410 shoot plenty rabbits an roosting pigeons and the odd walked up pheasant I can't hit anything flighting but that might just be me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saintsman54 15 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I have a hushpower 410 and I use it on rabbits pigeons crows rats. I am introducing my girlfriend to shooting and she is using this on clays and she is hitting them no problem! If she carrys on improving I am going to start getting worried. Only downside is the price of cartridges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3175darren 1,100 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Really underestimated caliber,I grew up with them,never been without one used all three cartridge sizes,superb first gun, I learnt to shoot with one, I always take one ferreting.Before the lead ban I have used them on the side of a small flight pond,during the miners strike the 410 kept food on our table,nothing but fond memories of the little 410 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
