Re: Women Take Joe Biden's 'Buy a Shotgun!' Advice

Recently went through a Ladies Basic Defensive Shotgun class. I have "shotgun experience", but never really got shown how to properly mount the shotgun. I put quite few rounds through at class. I had one bruise on my clavicle, but that was where I got excited doing some tactical reloads and didn't pull the butt to my shoulder firmly. I have a Remington 870 Express XS that I really love.

I shot right handed until a couple years ago when I realized I was VERY left eye dominant, so I am relearning long arms. I do much better with my dominant eye ;-)

I find NOTHING humorous by giving ladies a large caliber gun and letting them get beat up by it by not showing them how to manage the recoil. I have met so many ladies that are terrified to the point of shaking and tears when they want to learn to shoot but have either had a bad experience in the past, or "heard how awful it is" from others. Usually they end up ready for more, excited to learn and thrilled when just a small amount of time is taken to show them the right way.
