I bought one for my twin boys when they were 9. Worked great and soft shooting. My 14 yr old niece shoots it as well but I add a slip on recoil pad to increase lop for her by about an inch. For a 15 year old I'd probably not get the youth model but that depends on the size of the girl. My niece...
I have 9 year old twin boys. Remington 1187 compact in 20 gauge is perfect for them. It has a shorter 21 inch barrel with screw in chokes. Also adjustable length of pull with spacers that are included with purchase. As they grow I will just add another spacer.
I thought about a Remington 1100...

Thanks guys. The other guys I was hunting with really enjoyed seeing and hearing the black powder shells go off. It's a louder deeper boom than smokeless and of course a lot of fire and smoke.
Did a little dove hunting on the 1st. Brought my new to me 1897 winchester made in 1906 And my 1889 Remington made in 1901. Both in 12 gauge.
Loaded some brass shells with black powder and 7 1/2 shot and had a blast.
To me there's something special about using these old guns and wondering who...
