Because it's a heck of a lot of fun, that's why
As much shot as a 12? No. But that's why they're fun. Why do you have a black diamond on a ski trail or a super crazy inverted section of a climbing wall?

My reply to Morris is: Why wouldn’t you shoot small gauges? Ever run 75 straight with a 28 ga? Remember your first 25 straight with the .410? If you “roll your own”, you can load a lot more 28 ga and .410s than you can big’ol 12 ga shells. Besides, I like my matched pair of 28 and 410 Rizzinis. Oh yes, I’ve got 28 ga tubes for my 12 ga 425 and XS Skeet too. I like “showing-off” with my little guns! BP |

Shooting 12ga targets with the 28ga is F U N. But for competition I agree, no reason to use smaller than 12. |

If you played sporting clays competitively you will know that playing sub-gauge courses is part of the training. Some shooters prefer them. It's a challenge. pixel art tool |

Why would anyone hunt Upland birds with a Browning Midas 20 gauge or svelte Italian small bore, when you could probably get more birds with an ugly Black Benelli 12 bore? It's not just about the kill. |

Why drive a sorts car when a large SUV will carry more? Because it's fun. And 28 gauge is the sports car of shotguns. |

For FUN, and to prove you can be just as good as with shooting a cannon! Apparently there are SOME people who are afraid to take a challenge. (or maybe they aren't good enough and need a "security blanket" or "pacifier"!) |
