The Winchester AA129 Light Target delivers consistent performance for clay sports with reduced recoil and reliable ignition. This 12-gauge load combines Winchester's proven AA hull technology with precisely metered powder charges for shot-to-shot consistency that competitive shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
The AA Light Target features Winchester's proprietary AA hull design that provides superior strength and consistent ejection compared to standard target loads. The 1-1/8 ounce payload moves at optimized velocity for breaking clays while generating approximately 15% less felt recoil than standard target loads. This reduction in recoil allows for faster follow-up shots and reduced shooter fatigue during extended practice sessions.
Key Features
- AA hull construction for reliable extraction and consistent performance
- 1-1/8 ounce #9 shot payload optimized for clay target sports
- 2.75-inch shell length fits all 12-gauge shotguns
- Reduced recoil design minimizes muzzle jump and shooter fatigue
- Lead shot provides dense, uniform patterns at sporting distances
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
- Primer and powder matched for consistent velocities
This ammunition excels in trap, skeet, and sporting clays competition where consistent patterns and manageable recoil are essential. The #9 shot size provides adequate energy for breaking standard clay targets while maintaining dense patterns at typical engagement distances of 16-40 yards. The reduced recoil characteristics make this load particularly suitable for youth shooters, smaller-framed competitors, and extended practice sessions where comfort becomes a factor in performance.
