Low Recoil 12g Clay Cartridges


Recommended Posts

Going to take my grand-daughter clay shooting. She has shot before with the army cadets but has suffered from recoil.

I'm thinking Hull CompX but would appreciate your thoughts.

If I go for CompX are the 21g any good or should I stick with 28g and put more shot in the air. Or go for another cartridge that does 24g.

decisions, decisions?

Thanks in advance

if you want low recoil, use subsonics. 24g or so (evo gamebore....)

You have not stated the age or build of your Grandaughter, but please be careful in your choice of gun and cartridge for her first attempt, or you may just put her off completely. My thirteen years old slightly built Grandson is currently using a 28 bore with a 13" stock, fitted with a Kick-Eeze pad and 16 gram cartridges. His 9 years old brother is using a 12" stocked .410, but with the same loaded cartridges. Can you not ask the ground if they have a small guage and shorter stocked gun that you could use ? You have already said that she "suffers from recoil" how do you know, unless she has complained ? I used to shoot clays on a Military Range and the 'Instruction' that the Cadets received made me cringe. They used an assortment of cheap and nasty 12 bored guns, all too long for the majority of them, and the biggest assortment of ****py cartridges they could find, including 32 gram + large shot things. I think the 'Instructors' tried to give these kids the biggest beating, without actually touching them, that they could. I hope your Grandaughter did not receive the same level of 'Instruction' !
