Hi, Im new here.

I'm 15 and I'm going to be firing my first ever shotgun in a few weeks and I was wondering what I should generally know/do.
We are going spotlighting on a farm hunting rabbits and that kind of thing. I think I'll be using a 12 gauge but im not sure what kind.
I know next to nothing about shotguns, so what would your advice be? I'm a little worried I'll get hurt with recoil as I dont have the biggest shoulders so what should I think about there?

Thanks

I forgot to mention that I WILL be shooting clays to start with, and that i'll be with an adult who has taken more courses than you can shake a stick at about shotguns, hunting and gun safety.

thanks for all your advice, it looks like it will be really helpful
