what will be the game she is after.if it one of the big 5 will the 9.3x62 meet the minimum i think the 9,3x74 squeeks by but i am no expert on the minimum caliber needed.if its plains game why not go lighter with a premium bullet.look at connie brooks from barnes she may top out at 5'2" BUT SHE SHOOTS A 338 AND A 470 NE.A GOOD RECOIL PAD ,A MERCURY REDUCER,A BREAK,AND A GOOD SET OF EAR PLUGS.AND A STOCK THAT FITS HER.
