Hey guys,
I just bought a Mossburg bantam synthetic 20 gauge for my 12 year old son and wife to use for turkey season this year. I had never shot a 20 gauge before, always 12. This thing kicks like a mule!! I just assumed it would be a much lighter recoil. It wasn't so much the kick to the shoulder it was the beating my face took!! I only shot it 3 times, that was enough to know that there is no way a small boy or my 100 pound wife would be able to handle it.

What do you think? Any suggestions on less recoil??

Thanks for the help!!
Brian
