I do not believe that is true. As I said in my previous post, I think a competitive shooter could shoot virtually any discipline with virtually any gun (so long as fit and fnction were comparable) and win if he were incentivised. I think most simply have more experience/confidence shooting an O/U. I am hardly a county class shooter, much less world class, but my clays scores 40+/80+ are about the same whether I am shooting a Birmingham boxlock or a Beretta (or a Super Black Eagle for that matter).
