However, This NSSA Classification chart is reveling with what the great pointers can do with each gauge.

NSSA CLASSIFICATION TABLES
Revised & Effective April 22, 2014
OPEN INDIVIDUAL CLASSES
Class
12
20
28
.410

AAA*
.9850 & Over
.9825 & Over
.9800 & Over
.9650 & Over

So let’s take 12 to 28, and the difference is 0.005 in hit percentage in favor of the 12 between the two gauges in AAA Class. I guess I have to admit you win.
AAA is kinda fictitious as it’s only used at shoots with an exceedingly large number of AA shooters . And AAA to the best of my knowledge has always been 1 % point above AA so double AA would be 97.5 - 97.25 - 97 and 95.5 . Thirty years ago when I into skeet heavily the 12 was the same as now the 20 was 97-98 the 28 was 96.5 97.5 and the 410 was 94.5 95.5 with first numbers being minimum for AA and second number for AAA . I found AAA relatively easy at that time to attain a AAA average but I never could quite stay in 12 gauge AAA . But then again my 28 gauge average was usually above 98.25 most years with the 12 and 20 being slightly less but both still above 98 . FWIW the last years I shot the 20 in the 12 event and my average and number of 100 straights increased .
