If your young hunter isn't quite ready for his own shotgun, he can take the next best thing - a Monte Carlo toy
shotgun. This authentic looking side-by-side toy shotgun, scaled down to 33", is a great way to learn gun handling and
safety. It fires caps in the form of miniature shotgun shells.
Ordered 2 of these for my sons for Christmas along with a bunch of the ammo. Can't wait for them to give them a try and am truly hoping they last awhile. they look pretty good - and are much higher quality looking than anything else you'll find at your local store. should be a safe alternative to bb guns when an adult isn't there to supervise. probably can use indoors safely too in a basement.
