Rattus...I am not talking about what is happening when I am teaching. I can also tell that you aren't big into shotshell reloading . What I worry about with the young and the women is someone doing the dirty deed when I happen to not be there. Like the guy giving his granddaughter 1450 FPS reloads. Not everybody is as cognizant about what women and kids should shoot...and many could care less. I have heard guys laughing about how the gun was kicking women. Luckily I had a very good shooter teach me all those years ago. He knew that a 10 yr old couldn't handle a full size 12 ga and really learn. He taught me right...and I attempt to teach others in the same way. I bought my first Model 12 at the age of 11...and he cut the stock to fit me....it still kicked He also made me shoot the lightest loads available at the time. But he taught me with a 28 and a 20....and a model 42 410 which at first was frustrating. He made me hunt quail with the 28 ga! I had a lot of good instructors as a kid..Not all just about shooting..a lot to do with safety. I really didn't like hearing about safety all the time...but when the men I shot with formed a trap club...by the bylaws I was the only person under 18 allowed to be a member... I was 13. I musta done somethin right. I was really proud. When I started to shoot skeet I was taught at first by an older gentleman who taught skeet shooting to many Hollywood stars. He was an All-American skeet shooter...and he still pushed that safety thing all the time...and I had to learn to shoot skeet with a 20 ga..model 12 in fact. He had a 5 gun M-12-42 set...which I later bought from his son after his death. I'm not the greatest shot in the world...but I do know how to teach shooting. At least with a shotgun
