Q: renting 20 gauge vs 12 gauge for doves what's the typical preference or recoil difference for high volume
AWS EXPERT REPLY
For high-volume dove hunting, many hunters prefer a 20 gauge due to its lighter recoil, especially when shooting hundreds or even thousands of rounds in a day. The reduced recoil can significantly enhance comfort and endurance, allowing you to enjoy the experience longer without fatigue. While a 12 gauge offers a bit more power and pattern density, the 20 gauge is perfectly adequate for doves and often favored for its pleasant shooting experience over extended periods.
