I found length of pull to be the main issue with my daughters, it would be great if you could find one to shoot before you end up with an arsenal of "youth" and or lightweight 20's only to find she can't get on a bird because the weight distribution or LOP is not right. FYI, I went to old Ithaca flues doubles, weight 5.5 # recoil manageable and even with 14" standard LOP, because of the short action, they handle them with ease. This after an assortment of pumps and autoloaders. Kids, particularly girls are hard to fit!
