my 11 year old is a competitive trapshooter and just finished his first season with several medals and trophies.after a botched attempt at 6 to shoot his 20 ga he was recoil shy and wouldnt go near a shotgun.his brother shot trap for the sctp and aim programs for 4 years before going into the army this year.
a trip to the trap/skeet field is always a good place to start.a lot of the older shooters were more than happy to assist both my sons with answering questions and helping with stance,gun mounting,follow thru,leads and what not.
