I will also try to e-mail this back to you. RWTF "The field is the touchstone of the man"..

The heavy ones work well for targets and waterfowl. The light ones work well for upland Tne moderate ones , well they are moderate The Baker is now useful, whereas before tubes it was not useful. Joe Wood, as I remember it, you did not miss a clay today on field 6. Wish Amarillo Mike had been there for his monthly lesson. Mike I understand what you're saying. Different strokes for different folks. I gave it a couple trys, since it was all the rage. I've had two tubed guns. Both went down the road. The first was a 3200 skeet. The second a K80. A 9 lb skeet gun might be for some guys, but not me. The gun felt like the barrels were made from lead pipe with those tubes installed. The tubes for the K80 were sold and replaced with individual subgauge barrels. I liked it much better. Last edited by Chuck H; 03/21/12 07:36 AM.
