My wife and I own guns for home defense and target shooting. She's good to go with the 9mm. But when we shoot shotguns she's getting beat up. I found out her shot gun (Remington 870 youth) came with a full choke and we were shooting #3 buck. It rocked her but not bad. Next time to save money I got some bird shot. And it really was hard. I shot a few myself and it really was much worse than my 12ga with slugs.
I think my plan is to get an improved choke and a slip on limbs aver so she can shoot slugs.
Any Ideas, or thoughts on 20ga loads thatll go easier on her ?
