Craig.......I would introduce your wife to personal defense handguns long before I would steer her to rifles of any type. Buy her a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm, take her to an indoor range and spend time instructing her. Encourage her to acquire a concealed carry permit and ensure that she is proficient enough with the weapon to defend herself should the need ever arise. Then, introduce her to an AR15, a serious weapon that is easy to shoot with minimum recoil that she can fire without ever getting sore. The AR15 with a scope makes an excellent hunting rifle and can put meat on the table should that need ever arise, not to mention it is a tremendous self defense weapon should we ever have to take up arms to defend our homes or neighborhoods. Help your woman develop skills with the right weapons so she can actually protect herself. Only then would I think about skeet shooting. Recreation is secondary to self defense and personal security in my humble opinion.
