it was good but it sounded like she was dry firing(no offence). what type of shotgun is it?

[Seaboss2004]

I think the old standard of don't dry fire is a bit dated. New firearms use much better steel and have better manufacturing than the older days. In the Army while learning to fire my M16 - I dry fired probably 500 times and still managed to shoot expert when it counted.

are target rounds loud?

is 1200 fps loud?

[Seaboss2004]

Oh yeah, they are loud - you should always use ear protection when shooting on any range. You only get one set of ears afterall.

Is that a SG-870 shotgun? pretty looks like it.

[Seaboss2004]

not real sure the model but it is a youth model which is recommended for starting out.

Priceless look on her face on that first live shot. NICE.

[LordXvorthor]

For someone who's never shot before she did well, And she hit every target so well done. But one thing I am concerned in is that the tutor didn't mention anything to her about posture and stance. These two things are key to learning the basics in shooting otherwise you'll learn a bad habbit of sucking in the recoil and falling back everytime you shoot.

Nice shooting

20g shotguns can have just as much recoil as a 12 because they are lighter. The youth model may fit her better so she may not notice the recoil as much. To reduce recoil they should have used 7/8 oz loads and a gun that is designed to reduce recoil like a Beretta.

Chuck did a great job with this. The only thing I would be worried about is her leaning back a little too much. I was taught to have somewhat of an aggressive looking forward stance. Good stuff!

[famouzboi13]

she gana fly back

[Efrenleo]

the only thing is that she should keep the finger off the trigger until she's ready to fire.

What's wrong with dry firing? Unless it's a rimfire, dry firing does not do any damage to a modern firearm.

[darrenwilson28]

i think its good to start off with 12 ga cuz then u now how the recoil feels and u can shoot pretty much anygun after that and not be afraid of the recoil thats how i learnd only gun that kicks a bit more is the 50 Cal not that much though just a bit

[itsmorgan10]

agreed

[turkeycockmountain]

Most youth 20's are single shots...and they don't have much less kick than a 12 depending on what you get.
