For a while now, I have been searching for a sporting clay, trap, and skeet shotgun for the wife.
I have tried a 20ga Mossberg 500 pump.
Kicks too much.
20ga Mossberg SA-20 semi auto. Still too much recoil.
I've tried rubber recoil pads too. No go with 20 gauge.
I have some low velocity 20ga loads that I was going to try out with the Mossberg 500.
I've looked into recoil vests, but haven't tried any.
Should I try a 28 gauge?
Maybe a heavy over under.
I've read that .410 is only useful for skeet and with a good shot.
I've never tried it though.
I've thought about trying 12ga short shells.
The recoil thing is hard for me to understand because I can shoot 100 shells of 12 gauge at a time, but I am trying my best to help her enjoy the sport of busting clays.
Everybody is different though.
I appreciate any advice you all can provide.
