TIPS

Kids love to go duckshooting. Making them feel part of the team can be as simple as decking them out in a bit of their 'own' camo. When it comes to shotguns, Hunting & Fishing New Zealand specialise in smaller gauges like .410 and 20g. A real cracker and exclusive to this franchise is the Akkar youth scale 20g pump action. Budding hunters can use it as a single barrel until they are experienced enough (and big enough) to learn to pump the action - far safer than a double barrelled gun, let alone a semi-auto in young hands!
