The TC is lighter then most slug guns. So that's what I was wondering about. Does this gun beat you up? Would this be too much for a 13yo boy to shoot?
I would not think your son would have a problem. Most flinching issues with young shooters is developed off the shooting bench and not in a tree stand. I handloaded a reduced 20 gauge slug load for a hunt club member son who was in 4th or 5th grade. I used the Hornady .452 250 gr HP XTP with a reduced charge of bluedot. I suspect the velocity was in the 1.000 feet per second range. I watched the young hunter shoot
a 10 pt at over 100 yards, the heavy bodied deer went 20 yards and fell over. The bullet was recovered showing the most perfect Hornady mushroom.
The slug used was a T/C 20 gauge slug gun with the wood stock
