Just getting some ammo today when I noticed an older lady picking up 5 boxes of 12ga Lightfield Slugs. She was retired age and a smaller framed lady. I asked if they were for her husband or son and she said, no, they were for her, she was getting sighted in for deer season. Shotgun doesn't start for another 2 months. Most guys around here shoot about 1 box a year just to make sure its sighted in from last year, so she's no casual deer hunter.

I just thought it odd that she opted for the 12ga when its supposedly according to many "too much recoil" to handle. :-D  :)  :D  :-D  :)  :D

If she's shooting them out of a heavy auto she's probably getting less felt recoil than a 20ga tracker. I wish my wife was into hunting.
PROUD REDNECK CONSERVATIVE

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun

That's pretty funny...Especially with some guys claiming that they do not like the 12GA recoil.  Good for that woman...I wonder how her shoulder feels when she is finished sighting in?
