went to local sportsman club to get her use to it.

Had two boxes of AA s"Sporting clays" load @ 1300fps, which duplicated the box of Rem "reduce recoil" buckshot that I functioned fired after detailing the A5.

Was directed to go to the skeet/trap range for use, meet the RO, and he proceeded to expound on the poor choice of the A5.

Did you know that the A5 is a gas operated auto-loader? The resulting recoil would BEAT the heck out of my daughter and the slug barrel was a poor choice? The best loads for HD are the "AA" loads of #8 shot as any larger shot will pass through interior walls (faced with drywall material) and kill a cat in the other room.

My daughter and I kept straight faces at the above and she went on the three mid stations and nailed the first four birds.

We were advise that for HD to go to the open range and complete the familiarization. My daughter said she keep the A5.
I'm looking for a sporting barrel for it now.

Secondly, I have two shotguns @ home set-up for HD , plus an M1 Carbine.
