Has she shot this gun??? My son just got one and he says it is the hardest kicking gun we own. I never shot it because my shoulder and back don't need the hassle. That said, it is a 100yd gun, They fall off FAST after that and energy becomes an issue much past that.

There are much better guns w/less recoil. .243 for example. Just my .02. We got ours for bears over hounds.
