Hey, I have a gun. You don't want to break into my place in the
middle
of
the night. I have a Remingten 20 guage youth model. I don't
think
I
would
be able to take more than one shot, since it would like to knock
me
on
my
butt. My granddad got it for me a couple of years ago.


"Youth Model," funny. Did it come with a bible?


? You never heard of that? It's for women or smaller people. Look
it
up.

You really should go shoot it and get used to the proper way to
hold
it. It will NOT knock you on your butt.
We had lots of ladies on the skeet league I was on and they all
shot
12 gauge.
Skeet is an excellent shooting sport if you have a facility nearby
and
they usually have certified instructors there who will teach you
everything you need to know about safe shooting and the game in
general.


What? Shoot defenseless skeet?

Are you unaware of the good work done by the Save the Skeets
Foundation?

Seriously, the Rem 870 20 gauge youth model (i'm guessing here) is a
fine
shotgun, and "Ms. Nom" ought to learn to fire it safely. There's not
that
much kick, and if it is troublesome, a pad can be installed.


It's Em. I was not completely serious about it actually knocking me
down,
but I don't think I'd be in much control after the first shot.


A 20-gauge doesn't have a lot of kick, not even to a woman who doesn't
weigh much.


Sure seemed like a lot to me when I tried it at a range. It didn't
hurt,
but
it sure pushed me back.


Then you might not have been "shouldering" it properly.

Take a look at this video...ignore the awful music and the weird looking
dudes.

Remember, near the beginning, the instructor tells the woman to lean
into
it...

Sometimes women (and men, too) have a rough time shooting a semi-auto
pistol...the pistol doesn't seem to cycle properly and jams. Usually the
cause is that they've limp-wristed the pistol. That means that they are
not pushing against the pistol with the stretch of hand between the
thumb
and pointer finger on the shooting hand. You need a tight grip on the
pistol so you can push back a bit on the recoil. The pistol needs that
resistance.


Video?

You know we're talking about a shotgun right? I've fired a handgun
before.
It didn't seem to be a problem...

Ok... interesting. She doesn't lean as far forward as I did and didn't go
back as far as I did.
