First, let me say that if anyone misconstrued the thread title (you know who you are!), then shame on you
Anyway, my "not really anti-gun, just doesn't like them very much because she doesn't know anything about them" girlfriend has indicated that she wants to go shooting with me. I guess she's tired of hearing about how much fun I have on the trap fields and wants to give it a go. I'm ecstatic about it, because I've always wanted to be able to share this part of my life with her. ANYWAY, for those that have gotten a newbie-ette into shotgunning...
What do I need to do to make sure she has a good time (or at least to make sure she doesn't have a miserable time)? She's not a small woman (no, she's not fat, either) but she is concenered about recoil. The place I shoot has a variety of guns for rent but I don't know if they have anything besides 12-gauge. She gets embarassed easily, so what's the easiest game for her to start out on, where she might break a couple on her first time out? The place where I shoot has a trap, skeet, wobble trap, 5-stand and SC...I would imagine either trap, skeet or wobble.
I did a search on the board and found some info, but any more help that you could send my way would be appreciated.
