    Lighter and faster is almost a myth to be fair.
    I shoot an F3 (34" heavy) for upland and targets and a smelly Benelli 20 G (light) for everything else.
    I do not notice any difference or need to change anything with either to fill my bag or smash a clay. Shotgunning is all about timing.
    Technique will give you time no matter what the target or start position.

    If your swinging a gun along time after you mount it, to hit or miss then maybe you need to adjust your style or a lightish gun will suit you.
    Get a 20 or a 12. You will soon realize you need to have done a bit of shooting with success, to operate a light gauge gun and you would just sell it for something bigger if you are not put off in the first place.

    When you come down for a cham we can sort you out on some clays and gun choice.
    That is if I ever get out of here with all the snow😆

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
