Q: for my son who's a teenager and gonna rent a shotgun, would you suggest a 20ga or 12ga
AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's a great question! For a teenager renting a shotgun, especially for high-volume dove hunting, we generally recommend a 20-gauge shotgun.
A 20-gauge offers significantly less recoil than a 12-gauge, making it much more comfortable and enjoyable for younger or newer shooters during a high-volume shooting experience. It allows them to focus on their technique and enjoy the hunt without fatigue or discomfort from heavy recoil. Our professional guides are excellent at assisting all skill levels and can help your son get comfortable with his chosen firearm.
It's important to remember that gun rentals and hunting licenses are seamlessly managed by our team upon booking as part of our all-inclusive multi-day packages. This ensures you don't have to worry about the details, and we'll have the ideal shotgun ready for your son.
