    Default Youth 20 gauge Duck Shells

    What is the brain trust consensus on kids shells? I have been shooting exclusively a 20gauge for years and have come to like the Boss and Apex shells, but think this is not a good option for my boys that are 10 and 7. Even though they each can shoot (both killed 10 doves on a hunt Friday), I am thinking of duck shells and like the idea of the 2 3-4” Boss #5s,
    But they seem to be like unicorns with respect to locating any or similar shells.
    What do you fellas with kids have them shoot?

    Go on boss shells site. Click buy. They’ll be sold out but get on their email list from there. When you get an email saying back in stock buy them ASAP. I did that a month ago. The shell I wanted was back in stock within 7-10 days

    You buy what you can find these days, preferences be damned.

    Agreed on what you can find, it just may not be optimum

    My son loves the boss shells I ordered him this year for his 20g. The mailing list tip is good & checking site at 10 each morning.

    I spoke with Boss the other day, they will not be making the 2 3/4 shells this year, and doubt they will continue.

    That seems odd. I thought a lot of their marketing was to make shells you could shoot in older guns

    I could be wrong but I think he is just referring to the 2 3/4" 20 gauge shells. They are still making the 2 3/4" 12 gauge shells

    Yeah. I understood that but I still have an older 20 ga 1100 I was going to order some 2-3/4 boss shells for. I guess I’ll find something else.

    I’ve got some 20 gauge steel laying around somewhere. I’ll inventory what I’ve got and post it here before I put it in the TP. I’m through messing with anything that isn’t Boss or Migra.
