This is Rockstar advice , have fun.... Pat

I do a fair bit of grouse hunting here on Vancouver island with some youngsters. You might want to keep your eye for a SxS 20 , my empierce is a twelve tears up bird a bit too much for my liking. And when you son gets older it is a nice place to start him with light loads. Cheers Pat
