    these are the best replies to the thread.

    subs and vlr shells should be staple for first timers and youth shooters. who have yet to develop the strength to start.

     

    i took out a work colleague last month. they spent alot of time in the states and were put off by the 32gram loads and the 36gram target loads !

     

    i took out the 21gram loads and we shot alot. ~200 shells each. and he was amazed at the lack of recoil and how good he was,

     

    now subs and vlr shells are not to be snuffed at. they pattern great, and have low recoil. you`d not really notice a drop off in performance unless you started shooting 50yarders.

     

    now the 21gram subs are about the lightest you`d want, and that would be through a lite 20gauge, (handling and recoil)

     

    i would suggest going "out of your way" to accommodate these shells, because you dont want to put off the mrs by using bad shells. i`ve seen some people knocked about by english sprouters and silly game shells.

     

    subs cost more, but they are cheaper than an expensive gun, to get butchered to fit, then still recoil, because the shells are too much. obviously at a later date you can try and introduce 21 and 24gram loads respectively.

    a friend of mine even doesnt like 24g RC2 ! they rock !

     

    thanks for your replies...will try and get a 20g next week and some subs

    I guess that depends on how far she wants to take the sport?

     

    Obviously to start with you could use 21g cartridges, and teach her the correct way to mount the gun, show her how to obtain a good, solid and CONSISTENT mount.

     

    How big is your missus compared to you? Height and arm length in particular?

     

    she wants to come down with me and my lad,first time today for her ,tried to tell her what to do,frightened to death about the noise,recoil....but wants to be involved as a family...would like to start her on a gun with minimum recoil to get her confidence up and more shots at clays without hurting her shoulder..my guns dont fit her.....its good to have her down there trying to get involved

    She can use any gun she wants.

     

    Recoil shouldn't be an issue IF she has a gun that fits and a decent mount and stance.

     

    This young lady uses a 12g Perazzi with Eley Blues cartridges...
