Of school and all they own me! I have been wanting to take them out too.

I try to get out at least once every month or two with the kiddos to the local outdoor range. We shoot trap/rifle/pistol, but I sure am glad they prefer shooting .22's. After a 2-3 hours of range time they're grinning ear to ear, have sore hands/arms and are ready for lunch.
I really like knowing that my kids can handle firearms safely, not to mention they know how to field-strip and clean most of the guns we shoot.

When yours are ready to go, take a camera. Good memories for all and to share with the family.

uncomfortable with the recoil. she prefferd the 22 overall

My 2 cents... I'd first try a 12ga, with a stock w/recoil-pad, sling, low-recoil buck and if you can swing it, a light. That pistol-grip can be killer on someone without the strength to handle it. 20ga with buckshot should also do the job if the 12ga is really too much. You can also get slug/field barrels for the Mossbergs/Remingtons etc. for additional hunting flexibility/resale value. You and your wife need to practice with the gun, consider how it might be used, learn to reload with your head on a swivel, all while keeping the gun shouldered and on target. If the BG gets up again or another makes an appearance, repeat. Don't "hope" but instead have a plan...
