oakey 57 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Ive promised my mates lad age 11 that he can have a shot with my shotgun on his birthday . The thing is i dont own anything other than 12 bores . I dont want him to get such a kick that he is put off shooting all his life . If i were to take out some of the shot from the cartridge would this reduce the amount of recoil ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
