I have a friend who introduced me to reduced loads many years ago and i found them very effective on clays. I do not use them hunting. My eldest granddaughter was started at 12 with a 1/2 oz. 20 ga. load and was very comfortable with it. After 2 sessions i went to 3/4 and said nothing about it then to 7/8 saying nothing about it or recoil. She now, at 26 shoots anything without any thought of recoil.
I believe if started on a very mild load with no discussion of recoil and working your way up to a normal load there will be no problem later.
This has worked on 4 grandchildren so far and 1 adult woman.
