Some years ago, I shot sporting clays almost exclusively at a course that featured many simultaneous doubles with limited target windows requiring extremely quick second shots. The simultaneous doubles were particularly demanding because they often combined very different target presentations, a rabbit with a crossing or outgoing bird, for example, both quickly disappearing behind cover.
After shooting the course many times reasonably successfully, given my generally limited shooting ability, with a relatively light ported gun, I acquired an unported target gun and had noticeable difficulty making the second shots. At first I thought it was the heavier weight of the target gun, but Magna Porting it at least seemed to alleviate the problem. Maybe it was only psychological, but it worked.
I still shoot the ported target gun and the noise does not seem to bother either me, or my regular shooting partners, all wearing hearing protection. We may have just accepted it as normal.
