About the event
Sub Gauge Sporting Clays
Sub gauge sporting clays refers to the use of smaller gauge shotguns, such as 20 gauge, 28 gauge, or .410 bore, in the sport of clay shooting. This practice is gaining popularity for several reasons:
Advantages of Sub Gauge Sporting Clays
Reduced Recoil: Smaller gauges typically produce less recoil, making them more comfortable for shooters, especially beginners or those sensitive to kick.
Increased Challenge: Shooting with a sub gauge can be more challenging due to the reduced shot payload and effective range, enhancing the skill level of the shooter.
Weight and Handling: Sub gauge shotguns are generally lighter, allowing for easier handling and quicker target acquisition.
