She shot a 12 gauge and a 20 gauge back to back. She had no idea which was which.
When Tracy Kienitz asked this client which one kicked less, she pointed to the heavier gun every time. Then her eyes went wide. Then her husband's did too.
So, what are we missing, ladies? In competitive trap, sporting clays, and s***t, gun weight matters more than gauge for felt recoil. And the gun that the shop pushed you toward might just be the one fighting you.

"Just shoot a 20 gauge."
Most women hear that advice before they've ever felt a fitted 12 in their hands. And in a lot of cases, that advice is costing them better scores, softer recoil, and a whole lot more fun on the trap line.
Here's what Tracy Kienitz sees almost every week at Passionate Outlaws fittings: women shoot a fitted 12 gauge and a fitted 20 gauge back to back, blind. They don't know which is which. The one that feels softer? It's almost always the 12.
The why is simple physics. The fix is a fitting.
Tracy breaks down the full 20 vs 12 gauge story on the blog, including when each gauge wins, why competitive shooting flips the rules, and how the Lady Outlaw and Syren lines change the conversation entirely.

Tracy got tired of watching women fight their guns.
Tired of fitting gals to equipment that was never made for them. Tired of the bruises, the missed targets, the 'I just need more practice' when the real answer was standing right there.
So she went to Kolar Arms and said: let's build it right.
The Lady Outlaw is the first women's competition shotgun Kolar Arms has ever manufactured. Tracy designed every measurement. Length of pull as short as 12.9 inches. Grip built for smaller hands. Balance and recoil engineered for the way we actually shoot.
Not adjusted. Not shortened. Built.

Nobody built a shotgun for women.
Not really. There were shorter stocks. Lighter guns. Pink versions of men's guns with a new name on the box.
But a competition shotgun designed from scratch, for the way women's bodies actually work on the trap line? That did not exist.
So Tracy built it.
The Lady Outlaw is the first women's competition shotgun Kolar Arms has ever manufactured. Tracy designed every measurement based on years of fitting women to guns that were never made for them. The length of pull. The grip geometry. The drop, pitch, and balance. All of it built for us, not borrowed from a men's model.
Three models. Trap, sporting clays, s***t. Made in the USA. Ships with turquoise choke tubes in a leather case and a serial number that's yours alone.
The new blog post tells the full story of how this gun came to be and what it actually delivers on the range.

Spring competition season is here. Is your shotgun actually working FOR you?
If you're bruised after a shoot, missing targets you know you should break, or just feel "off" on the line, your gun probably doesn't fit.
We break down the 3 signs your shotgun is working against you, and what a proper women's shotgun fitting actually changes in our latest blog.

Just returned from the most amazing pheasant hunt in Kansas! Weather was awesome, lots of birds and spectacular hunting overall. Watching these amazing dogs was the highlight. I even had a triple! 3 roosters flushed and I got them all with my Syren USA Waterfowler. That shotgun is awesome!! Girls, you need one, message me! Our guide said that was the first time he had ever seen a triple! (Bragging sorry). I am trying blessed to have these opportunities and lots of healthy meat in the freezer. And I almost brought home another puppy!

Yesterday was an exciting day for me! I finally shot 25 straight in Trap. I’ve shot several 24s but couldn’t achieve the 25. The tradition is to shoot your hat so the guys at the club all pulverized my hat. It was so fun! I’ve worked hard for this goal. So don’t give up on your goals! That’s with my beautiful Caesar Guerini Summit Trap shotgun!
