[QUOTE="Dan 223, post: 2347103, member: 113544"] I'd pick a .22cal or 6mm that burns about 25-45 grains of powder and launches 55-105 grain projectiles north of 3000fps (.223, 22-250, .243,etc). Recoil is very minimal and the light soft projectiles really cause some damage at the high speeds. Noise is the other factor that can cause issues, commonly the noise will actually have more affect than recoil on scaring/putting off a new shooter. A suppressor is the best cure for this but Long barrels help too. I personally find when starting new hunters out that shot selection becomes very important. I've found their understanding of how and where to place shots on angled animals to be limited, hence why I now only allow broadside or very close to broadside shots. Typically a good double lung shot on an unalert relaxed deer results in a DRT kill. This keeps new hunters more interested than spending hours finding one that ran 100yards. [/QUOTE]
