Hi, I am new to all of this. My husband took me out shooting on Tuesday for the first time. Yesterday my rib cage in my back started getting very sore and all I could figure out was that it had to be from shooting. Is this possible? Should I expect this if I do not go out regularly with him to practice? I was shooting a 9mm (probably shot almost 2 boxes of target rounds) and also shot my husband's .45 some (probably 20 target rounds). I also took one try with the shot gun but it kicked too much for me. I'm on the smaller side so it was just too big. I would like to continue shooting but hopefully this pain is only due to it being the first time and using muscles I don't use often. Thanks for any advice or tips you may have!
