You may be correct . But a lot of skeet shooters don’t even shoot 12 gauge in the all bore event . Back when I was doing it a good many of the big boys shoot a 20 in the all gauge event . When I was doing It I had one reciever stock set-up for skeet and trap . I’d just change the barrels . For me using the same 12 gauge loads for skeet as I used in trap , I noticed the recoil more with the 28” skeet barrel then I did with the 34” unsingle barrel or the 32” doubles barrel . I think that may have been the way I stood in skeet vs trap . But for me using the same 12 loads the recoil was more noticeable with the skeet barrel .
