Peasant- Sxs

I am firmly in the peasant camp but I love shooting them. I always encourage the pullers at my local club to shoot one of my guns at a few targets and most have never shot a Sxs. We also have a group that shoots regularly with various Sxs's

I do think that the interest is growing and the availability of good Sxs guns through big stores like cabelas and the likes of gun broker has helped

Be happy- shoot birds and clays with whatever gets you fired up.
