My daughter dove hunting

[STF]

My daughter expressed wanting to dove hunt with me this year. Probably not going to hit anything this year but I want to start looking for a starter shotgun. I'm thinking 20ga and maybe single shot so all she has to worry about is aiming and so that it is light.

Suggestions?

Buy her some dove.

Light weight isn't all it's cracked up to be in a shotgun. The lighter the gun, the more the felt recoil.
The most important thing is to make sure the gun fits her. A semi or pump may be a bit heavier, but the fit is more important than the weight.

For doves, a 20 should be plenty of gun.

Have fun

That's what I'm thinking also. I think I'm just gonna go the tried and true 870 pump Remington route.

A Mossberg 500 with a Kicklite stock. Simple, reliable and almost no recoil.

If she is just getting into it take her skeet or trap shooting.There is a range close to me here in florida that rents shotguns . They will measure and fit the person if requested.

I'll look into it. I've always HATED the mossy with the safety loacation bolt release etc. but I do love their new furniture system.

I will definitely be taking her skeet shooting.

I don't know how old ur daughter is, but my 10 year old daughter shoots a moss 510 with no problem. When we bird hunt, she uses a full choke due to it having a short barrel and doesn't hold a good pattern past 30yrds with a mod choke.
