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
AWS EXPERT REPLY
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.
Regardless of your choice, our multi-day packages are completely all-inclusive. This covers luxury lodging, gourmet meals, open bar, and professional guides. We handle all the logistics for you, including arranging gun rentals and hunting licenses, which are added to your final itinerary so you don't have to worry about the details.
