Q: is there much of a recoil difference between the rented 20 gauge and 12 gauge shotguns for a full day of doves
AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's a great question, and yes, there is generally a significant recoil difference between a 20 gauge and a 12 gauge, especially over a full day of high-volume dove shooting.
A 20 gauge typically produces noticeably less recoil than a 12 gauge. When you're shooting hundreds or even thousands of shells in a day, as is common in our high-volume dove hunts, this difference can greatly impact your comfort and endurance. Many hunters find the 20 gauge much more manageable for extended periods, leading to less fatigue and more consistent shooting throughout the day. Our professional guides are always on hand to help you choose the best equipment for your comfort and shooting style.
At AWS Lodge, we manage all the logistics for you, including arranging gun rentals and hunting licenses. These are standard fees added to your final itinerary so you don't have to worry about the details, ensuring you have the ideal setup for your hunt.
