As others have said dont go super tight on the choke as the gun will kick alot more. Especially for a young shooter like your daughter. My 8 year old son shoots the factory extra full now but started with a full which both of which are more open than superful. This makes a big difference in recoil. As for ammo he shoots a lighter load too. I really like the 2 3/4" Federal Heavy Weight in #7 shot. Its killer 35 yds and in.
