Stallones is too modest to brag but I happen to know he won many SxS sporting clay shoots with an old hammergun. Don't know the dimensions of his gun but can infer them from his previous post here. If memory serves me he also won the Texas State Championship SxS sporting clays. He may not be Digweed but he is no hayseed either.
And I would put my money on Stallones in a "Stallones versus the Colonel" at a SxS sporting clays shoot. Not that either needs to prove anything to me or anybody else.
The fact that the Colonel can out shoot me doesn't mean that 1-3/4 x 3 x 13-1/2 isn't currently a suitable configuration for bird hunting. His superior shooting may be because of better eye-hand coordination and/or more practice.
I understand that adding one or two clays when you are shooting 95% at competitive sporting clays is a huge improvement. But adding a couple of percentage points to my wild bird hunting has little value. And I am not conceding that going to a 1-1/4 x 1-7/8 x 15 would add any to my percentages.
So if you want a Mustang with traction control, ABS, air bags, power steering, power windows, dual zone air conditioning, 500 factory horsepower, Blue Tooth, satellite navigation, and XM Radio buy a new one. If you want to drive a classic original survivor buy a 1965 Mustang in original used condition. But don't then remake the surivivor it into what it never was.
