With young shooters ...or inexperienced shooters....its more about upper body strength than anything...for these games to be fun for them.
Some petite women ...have a lot of upper body strength ...some don't.
Kids are the same way ...some at 12 can handle and swing an 8lb gun / some can barely handle a 7 lb gun ... / so to me, that is the primary factor in selecting a gun for young shooters.
A couple of the better instructors I know in my area....keep some loaner guns for new shooters ....all gas operated guns...older Remington 1100's or Berettas ...and they shorten the stock / and reduce the weight ...so they have 6 lb and 7 lb guns for new shooters / at their lessons.
