OK, guys. My statement was that practice with heavy or light guns will make you free. Stan backed me up. Others came in and said that eye problems and other deformities will prevent you from becoming proficient with guns that don't meet your weight specifications. OK, Stan knows me, has shot with me, and knows I am right handed and can't see out of my right eye. He may not know that I am darn near paralyzed on my right side, have had two hip transplants, a titanium plate in my neck, have had back surgery, and will be 70 in October. I will not quit shooting in competition, have bought or built seven full crossover guns, still shoot NSCA when I can, NSSA, pigeons, and the Parker-L.C.Smith Challenge, although is has been a few years since I made the Parker Team. Yes, I made the Parker Team with a crossover gun. I have also shot 100 straights in NSSA with off eye guns. My crossover guns range from 6 pounds, 4 ounces to 10 pounds plus. I like shooting them regardless of the weight. Thank you, Stan, my friend, for standing up for those who "man up" with a shotgun instead of missing and complaining.
