Q: for high volume doves in april would you recommend renting 20 gauge or 12 gauge shotguns for our group
AWS EXPERT REPLY
For high-volume dove hunting in April, both 12 gauge and 20 gauge shotguns are excellent choices, and the best option truly depends on your group's personal preferences and shooting style.
• 20 Gauge: Many of our guests find the 20 gauge to be ideal for high-volume dove shooting. It offers less recoil, which significantly reduces fatigue over long shooting sessions, allowing for quicker follow-up shots and a more comfortable experience. Given the incredible volume of doves in Argentina, the 20 gauge is more than sufficient and often preferred for its ease of handling.
• 12 Gauge: The 12 gauge provides a larger shot payload and can be advantageous for longer-range shots or if you prefer a wider pattern. However, the increased recoil can be noticeable during a full day of high-volume shooting.
Ultimately, we have both options available for rental, and our professional guides can help you decide what feels best for each member of your group.
Since you're considering a trip for April, our human team can provide the most accurate availability and tailored recommendations for your group. While our online calendar might show some dates as fully booked around that time, we frequently have hidden inventory.
