OT, it's definitely the fit of the stock. It's clearly too big for her. A youth mossy500 would probably be perfect and I'll look into that for the future.

Bronk: I've thought about a slip on pad, but that would make it even longer and more uncomfortable for her. I'm not looking for any type of pattern. Just actual trigger time behind live loads that aren't going to make her uncomfortable. I set up clay pigeons on a hill for her and have her practice pulling up, getting a rest, finding the target, and getting a shot off. That can be accomplished with light shot loads.

She's practiced allot with .22s and her .270. and I think that when a deer shows up she'll do fine. But it's just too much recoil for allot of practice shooting for her. Not to mention the slugs I'm using are $3/pop

Since Ohio went to straight wall cartridges we only use the slug guns for a few special draw areas. We have a special draw hunt coming up that she's been practicing for. I will probably look into finding a youth 20gauge for next year that will fit her better. We only draw these special hunts every few years.
