What a shame. What did you have her shoot, if I may ask?
IMO it’s easier to train basic skills on a long arm & then transfer to handgun, if that is what is desired; however, a first taste should be something suited to the new shooter’s body style & aggression (or lack thereof).
I had her shooting a .38 special!
