Shooting Aguila’s 12 Gauge Minishells

Have you ever taught a new shooter using a shotgun? If your student is young or small-framed, even a relatively shoft-shooting 12 gauge can take a toll after 10-15 rounds. Well Aguila has a better idea.

Their Minishells are short, ultra soft-shooting 1 3/4″ long 5/8 oz. loads of 7 1/2 shot that you can shoot all day. They also load up these shorties with buckshot and a little rifled slug if you want that smaller person to use your big bore gun to hunt in relative comfort.

I fired off five of them during a round of trap and got a gentle nudge more like a 10/22 going pop than a Browning going boom. These slick little babies are great for their intended purpose, but cheap they’re not. A box of 20 of the birdshot will you you $12 or so. The same quantity of buckshot or slugs are over $19.
