Anything in .22 is good for a starter weapon. It has about as much kick as a BB gun (actually, my most powerful BB gun kicks more than a 10/22 rifle,) and it's cheap as dirt. If you call up a local range and ask about rentals and lessons, they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Recoil also depends a lot on the gun itself. The first thing I ever shot was a .44 Ruger Redhawk, which my friends decided was a good match for my huge size, and it was heavy enough that non-magnum loads barely caused any jump.
