jakestamant Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I'm looking at getting my son a Condor Youth 20 gauge for youth trap league. He currently shoots a Condor Youth .410. I would also like to get him into turkey hunting. Any recommendations for choke tube and ammo on this gun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timb99 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) I'll offer my opinion on the trap part of the question. First, there are better choices than the Condor. How old is he, and how big a boy is he? Trap is a 12 gauge game. It would be better if you could get him started with a 12 gauge with light loads. A Remington 1100 is a great choice for a starter trap gun. or a Browning BT-99 micro. If he's too small for a 12 gauge, a Remington 1187 20 gauge youth gun is a really good choice to get kids started. For trap, if you go with the 20 gauge, start him off with a modified choke, and 7/8 ounce target loads with number 7-1/2 or 8 shot. To answer your next question, at 16 yards, no, 7-1/2 or 8 does not matter. For turkey hunting, I will let folks with more experience post about that.
