My wife is very interested in trying this sport out. She is 5'0 and I'm not sure which gauge I should start her out with. I'm thinking 20, but wanted some advice. I've also got to be conscious about the weight of the gun. Any ideas?
Another note, I used to have a Mossberg Silver Reserve, but come to find out, since I'm a lefty, it really wasn't the right gun for me. A gunsmith at my club told me he could bend the barrel, but would have cost more than the gun did. As you can imagine, I became very frustrated and it's been over a year since I've shot. I'm hoping that my wife gets into it with me, which will give me an excuse to shoot. Any recommendations on a lefty shotgun? Which gauge? We are mainly focusing on skeet and trap. I truly appreciate the advice of any veterans. This time, I'm going to be sure that I spend my money wisely, even if it cost a bit more than before. The key for me is getting the right gun.
Sorry to be a pain in the ass, this is my last question I swear, but where would you recommend I go and buy these shotguns? (I'm located in North Attleboro) I'll pay more for good customer service and someone who will really be of great assistance.
Thanks,
Chris
