The Crickett My First Shotgun Pump Muddy Girl is a .410 bore youth shotgun with an 18.5 inch barrel and a 3 inch chamber. It’s $429, in stock, and ships to your local FFL dealer.
Crickett My First Shotgun Pump Muddy Girl details
My First Shotgun is Crickett’s .410 for beginning hunters. It has a special recoil-reducing chamber and a soft rubber recoil pad, so the kick stays mild for a smaller shooter.
This pump version has a Muddy Girl camo stock, 3+1 capacity and accepts standard Beretta style chokes. It weighs about 4.6 pounds.
Why a .410 for a first shotgun
The .410 bore is the smallest common shotgun size, so recoil is light. It’s a good fit for squirrels, rabbits and clay targets at short range. There’s a short history in the .410 bore article on Wikipedia, and your state wildlife agency sets the rules for what you can hunt with it.

First hunts with a .410
Pattern the gun before the season. Shoot a few loads at 15, 20 and 25 yards on paper and see where the shot lands. That shows the young hunter how close they need to be, which with a .410 is usually inside 25 yards.
Who the Crickett My First Shotgun Pump Muddy Girl is for
We see the Crickett My First Shotgun Pump Muddy Girl go to:
- Small framed adults who want light recoil
- Families who want one .410 for several kids
- A young hunter’s first squirrel or rabbit season
An adult should always supervise a young shooter. The NSSF firearm safety page has free material for teaching kids the basics.
Setup and care tips
Clean the bore and chamber after each outing and put a little oil on the metal. Store the shotgun unloaded and locked, with shells kept separately.
Single shot or pump: which My First Shotgun?
The single shot My First Shotgun is the lightest and cheapest of the group at about 4.2 pounds, and it folds for storage. The pump versions hold more shells (3+1 or 5+1), so a hunter gets a quick second shot, and they take screw-in chokes. If the shooter is brand new, the single shot keeps things simple. If they’ve already handled a .22 safely, the pump gives them room to grow.
All four share the 18.5 inch barrel, 3 inch chamber and compact stock. The pump is offered in black, Turkish walnut and Muddy Girl camo.
