Q: when renting 20 gauge vs 12 gauge shotguns for the june trip which is generally more comfortable for high volume shooting or do u have a reco
For high-volume shooting, many hunters find the 20 gauge to be significantly more comfortable due to its lighter recoil. While the 12 gauge offers a bit more power, the cumulative effect of recoil over hundreds or thousands of shots in a day can be quite noticeable. The 20 gauge still provides excellent performance for dove and perdiz, making it a popular choice for extended shooting sessions at AWS Lodge. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your personal preference and tolerance for recoil, but for comfort in high-volume scenarios, the 20 gauge often has the edge.
