Over-under sporting shotgun – elegant precision in two barrels

An over-and-under sporting shotgun is characterized by two barrels positioned vertically one above the other, unlike classic double-barreled shotguns, which have barrels side by side (so-called "side-by-side"). This design offers shooters a number of advantages, making it the most popular choice for sporting disciplines, especially skeet, trap, or clay pigeon shooting.

Why choose a side-by-side shotgun?

Accuracy and better aiming

The vertical arrangement of the barrels provides a more natural sight plane and gives the shooter better control when aiming at fast-moving targets. This design minimizes shot dispersion, which means a higher probability of hitting the target.

Stability and less recoil

The vertical arrangement of the barrels allows for better balance of the shotgun. The weight is distributed more evenly, reducing recoil, which is especially appreciated by less experienced shooters or shooters during longer sports training.

Easy maintenance and reliability

Over-and-under shotguns are characterized by their simple design, easy disassembly, and cleaning. Thanks to their robustness and simplicity, they have a longer service life and, with proper care, will function reliably for many years.

Technical parameters and features

Sporting shotguns usually have a barrel length of between 70 and 81 cm (28-32 inches). Their weight is usually between 3 and 4 kg, which provides an ideal compromise between stability when shooting and comfortable handling during prolonged use. Modern models have interchangeable chokes, making it easy to adjust the spread of shot to suit the shooting discipline or target distance.

Areas of use for over-and-under shotguns

Sport shooting (trap, skeet, sporting): The most popular choice for competitive shooters due to their accuracy and ergonomics.
Hunting: Suitable for small game hunting thanks to quick reloading and the ability to fire two different types of ammunition.
Recreational shooting: Easy handling and comfortable shooting even for less experienced shooters.

How to choose the right over-and-under shotgun?

When choosing a shotgun, focus on the ergonomics of the stock, barrel length, weight, and the possibility of changing chokes. For sporting purposes, choose a model with a longer barrel and interchangeable chokes that allow for precise adaptation to shooting disciplines. High-quality shotguns are made of durable materials, such as walnut wood for the stock and high-quality steel for the barrels.

Conclusion: The over-and-under shotgun as the perfect choice

The over-and-under sporting shotgun is the ideal choice for shooters looking for precision, comfort, and reliability. Whether you are involved in target shooting, hunting, or just recreational shooting, an over-and-under shotgun will always provide reliable performance and above-standard user comfort.
