If you put a thick recoil pad on the stock, make sure you count it in, when calculating length of pull.

Recoil shouldn't be a problem if she's holding the shotgun firmly to her shoulder, leans forward and has her feet in the right position.

(It's odd, but if you think the recoil is going to punch you, people tend to hold the stock loosely against their shoulder, to avoid the punch. Which is the exactly wrong thing to do. Snugger is better.
