I'm almost positive that after the day is over, she'll be completely done with that "Oh, I'll be fine doing it this way" mentality.
I suspect she'll be completely done with more than that! Seriously. Courses of fire will have requirements like engaging three targets on the way to cover, two each; with a five-shot gun, it can't be done. She may have to reload and fire one round to complete a 6-round engagement, then have to pocket four rounds in a reload that nets only one more round, because the next array can't be completed with four. A tactical reload calls for "putting the whole mess" (live and spent rounds) in the pocket, and if a further reload is required, picking-out the live rounds from among the spent cases. It certainly can be done, but it's very slow and more than a little frustrating. I wouldn't want to introduce someone to IDPA with those limitations.
