Honestly, I am hoping that the picture was taken as the guy was grabbing the butt stock to push it forward and onto the girl's shoulder.

As far as the You Tube video is concerned, that guy is a moron. However, some men would prefer that their significant other not enjoy the sport so that they can have their alone time from their significant other. I heard a shotgun story where this girl wanted to shoot clays with her boyfriend, but the boyfriend didn't want her to come along. So, to satisfy her curiosity and make sure she never wanted to go again, he started her out with a 12 gauge with extremely hot loads (e.g., handicap and high brass).

Me, I would prefer that my wife like hunting, shooting, fishing, and road cycling, but so far fishing, mountain biking on asphalt trails, and a little clay shooting is all that I can get her to do. Ultimately, I am fine with that because I do not want her to do anything she doesn't want to do. However, if she wants to try a rifle at the range, you can bet she will be starting with a .22 lr and for a shotgun it will be a .410 or 28 gauge, and for a handgun it will be .25 or just slightly larger.

We should want as many people as possible supporting the sport and not scared of guns, but I guess there will always be morons out there.
