Q: my wife might wanna try shooting a bit what's the reco for her a 20ga or 12ga considering shes a total beginner
AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's wonderful that your wife is considering trying shooting! For a total beginner, especially if she's concerned about recoil, a 20-gauge shotgun is generally the recommended choice. It offers significantly less recoil than a 12-gauge, making the experience much more enjoyable and easier to learn with. We want everyone to have a fantastic time and build confidence in the field.
At AWS Lodge, we specialize in providing a completely all-inclusive, seamless experience. Our multi-day packages cover everything, including luxury lodging, gourmet meals, an open bar, and professional guides. We also handle all the logistics for you, including arranging top-quality gun rentals (including 20-gauge options suitable for beginners) and hunting licenses, which are added to your final itinerary so you don't have to worry about the details. Our dedicated bird boys and guides are experts at assisting hunters of all skill levels, ensuring a safe and successful outing for your wife.
Given that your wife might be joining, you might also be interested in our special celebration packages, which are perfect for couples and family pairs looking to share an unforgettable experience:

2. Mixed Bag Option
*(These packages are fully valid and designed for all hunting duos, including Fathers & Daughters, Family Pairs, and Couples.)*
