My daughter is going to join her school's trap team and I'm looking into a new shotgun for her. She is 12 years old, 5'3" and about 110lb. She shoots my ARs, but doesn't have much experience with anything bigger.
I was thinking a 20ga semi-auto might be best for reduced recoil, but am open to other ideas. I am not a shotgun guy at all, so I can't really even tell the difference between a trap gun or hunting gun.
It's her first year and she is still growing, so I'm not going to drop $2k or get it fitted to her. I was thinking about starting at entry level, but have always been willing to pay a little more for quality if it is worth it. I think $500-600 is doable, cheaper is always nice to have more money for ammo, and if it is a big step up I could probably swing a few hundred more. What options can you guys suggest?
