I used a .410 as my first shotgun, and mostly shot at clay pigeons sitting on tree trunks and birds on a wife. The .410 was great, because it had a lot more chance of hitting something than a .22. Now, trying to shoot something out of the air was a completely different story.

The 28 gauge isn't that bad of a gun to use for target shooting, as long as the targets are thrown close in and a wide choke is used. Obviously, the larger the gauge, the better chance for success, but the more pounding the shooter will take. Both of my sisters shoot my 20 gauge Beretta 391 just fine. Granted, they don't post the same scores as me, but most of the guys shooting 12 gauges, with the exception of Skeet, don't post the same scores as me.

I ended up getting on You Tube yesterday to watch the video above, and watched a couple more videos of women shooting. Honestly, the guys teaching them to shoot were morons. One girl ended up with a broken nose. Another had the scope hit her so hard in the forehead that she was bleeding profusely. One had a hand gun come back and hit her in the face.

Then, there were the videos of completely stupid people that shot themselves in the foot, that had shotguns go off when they didn't mean for them to, and there was even one of this kid looking down a fireworks mortar when it went off and bounced off his forehead. Utterly brilliant people.
