With all the glOOm and dOOm in the decline thread I thought I'd start a thread on a more positive note....

Here's how I got into SxS's.

I got into SxSs for reasons different than most folk here I got 'invited in' by a Gunsmith friend name of Ed Mason...they shot black powder skeet with cartridge guns at my gun club every Wednesday.

I told him Ed I don't have a vintage SxS...he replied I got one you can shoot.

He sure cost me some money.

Ed Mason, Charlie Lindsay, Bobby Collins, Tom Jones and a few more all passed to the happy hunting grounds/club in the sky...you know if they hadn't died on me with their coaching I might've been a good shot by now.

I kept hunting with SxSs for several years...but with their loss my interest was pretty much lost.
