Have you considered a smaller gun? I use a .410 for skeet and the recoil is quite light. Target shooters typically expose themselves to hundreds of shots in a tournament and by the end, the increased comfort is appreciated. As well, the gun is often lighter to carry and swings with less effort. If there's a downside, it's the lower scores. Using small guns provide ready excuses for all misses. Bye4Now, FD.

They make women's and youth models that aren't as heavy. Kick can be tamed by adjusting the type of powder, type of wads and the amount of shot. I had a Remington 1100 12ga. shortened for my wife and she shot heavy duck loads in it. Never hit one but she always emptied the gun. I grew up down the road from a lady who used to shoot full strength trap loads almost every night. 100 shots or more. Her husband built her a trap range and she used to place high in the Nationals every year. I doubt if she weighed over 100 pounds, very slender, but she could swing a shotgun with the big boys.
