FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Choosing the right shotgun depends on several factors, including your experience level, shooting discipline and personal preferences. Someone interested in clay shooting may favour a different shotgun setup compared to a game shooter spending time in the field. Fit and comfort are also important, as a shotgun that feels natural to mount and handle can improve confidence and consistency. Barrel length, gauge and action type should all be considered before making a purchase. At Solware, we understand that selecting a shotgun can feel overwhelming due to the number of options available. Our experienced team is always happy to discuss your requirements and recommend suitable models based on how and where you intend to shoot.
Shotgun cartridges are available in a variety of loads, shot sizes and specifications, each designed for different applications. Clay shooters often use lighter loads suited to repetitive shooting, while game shooters may require cartridges that deliver effective performance in varying field conditions. Factors such as recoil, shooting distance and firearm compatibility should also be considered. It is often beneficial to try a few options before deciding which cartridge performs best for your needs. At Solware, we stock cartridges from leading manufacturers and can help explain the differences between available options. Our aim is to ensure customers select ammunition that delivers reliable performance, confidence and value while remaining suitable for their chosen shooting discipline.
The main difference between 12 bore and 20 bore shotguns is the bore size, which affects the overall weight, handling and recoil characteristics of the gun. A 12 bore is one of the most widely used shotgun sizes and is popular for clay shooting, game shooting and general sporting use. A 20 bore is typically lighter and can be a good option for shooters who prefer a more compact gun or reduced weight in the field. Neither is automatically better than the other, as the right choice depends on the shooter, the intended use and the fit of the gun. At Solware, we stock a range of shotguns and cartridges and can help customers compare suitable options based on their shooting requirements.
When choosing shotgun cartridges, it is important to make sure they are compatible with the chamber length, bore and proof specification of your shotgun. Cartridge size, shot load and intended use can all affect suitability, so you should always follow the gun manufacturers guidance and check the markings on the shotgun before use. Different cartridges are designed for different applications, including clay shooting and game shooting, which means there is no single cartridge that suits every situation. Solware stocks a wide range of shotgun cartridges from established manufacturers, and our team can help you identify suitable options for your shotgun and the type of shooting you plan to do.
Useful shotgun accessories can include a secure gun slip or case, cleaning equipment, hearing and eye protection, cartridge bags and other shooting essentials. Depending on your shotgun, you may also need suitable choke tubes, choke keys or maintenance products designed for your particular model. Choosing the right accessories can help protect your equipment, keep it organised and make regular cleaning and maintenance easier. At Solware, we stock a broad range of shotgun accessories and shooting equipment alongside our guns and cartridges. If you are unsure what you need, our experienced team can help you choose suitable accessories based on your shotgun, shooting style and intended use.
