Larry, where in hell did you ever get the silly notion that I was discussing or debating anyone's way of standing up for the 2nd Amendment or any other Constitutional Right? You are the one who made the pompous statement about military service being the one "TRUE commitment to the Second Amendment. And the rest of the Constitution." I have on many occasions acknowledged the sacrifices made by the men and women who serve in the military. I never once said that serving in the military was somehow a lesser commitment than merely being an NRA member or any other patriotic citizen. That is you attempting to confer your erroneous opinion onto me. But that is nothing new coming from you. When you are wrong or when you simply cannot comprehend the written word... which happens quite often... you resort to denigration rather than just manning up and admitting to being wrong. So once again Larry, tell us who questioned your "support for the ENTIRE Constitution"??? Your words... your emphasis. Not very civil of you to be making wild-assed accusations again. By the way Larry, those irrational comments had little or nothing to do with shotguns for sporting clays. Just sayin' You say you don't care about Ed's motives here. Unfortunately for you and some others who feel compelled to read things they don't like, I do. And so does Ted and several others who are wise to Ed's Trolling, self-promotion, and frequent undermining of our Civil Right to Keep and Bear Arms. My opinion of Ed is based entirely upon his words and deeds here, same as my opinion of you. And here's a news flash Larry... I don't care if Ed is a veteran or even a four star general who won the Congressional Medal of Honor. His dozens of anti-gun statements have no place here and his dishonest denial of his own words and those of his other anti-gun Troll pals does not fit any rational persons notions of civil discourse. And I reiterate, if I hadn't weighed in here, I seriously doubt if you would have had this hissy-fit. By the way, I am totally familiar with what Obama said and did pertaining to Bergdahl, and with the potential Court Martial. And I also know how Obama has influenced Military policy by purging dozens of officers who oppose his policies and emasculation of the military. IF Bergdahl is convicted of desertion, It would not be surprised to see him freed with a presidential pardon. Did those extremely close encounters with Russian fighter jets repeatedly passing within spitting distance of our battleships warm your heart? I'll bet your older brother King is calling Obama "cerebral and eloquent" for allowing Putin to once again poke a finger in his eye. I'm glad to see you did not capitalize the word "president". I don't either when I refer to Obama. Wayne LaPierre is my President. For your reading pleasure, here's a link to the locked thread that started out here in the main Double Gun forum and resulted in one of Ed's suspensions. At least one guy said he'd never return here after receiving several e-mail threats from Ed. You've hitched your wagon to a real winner Larry. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=348207&page=1
Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

....If one--that's ANYONE, Keith (please note, your name is not specifically attached)--enlists in the military, they're making a rather unique offer concerning defense of the Constitution, and protection of EVERYONE's rights. They've given up choice. Uncle Sam gets to send them wherever, whenever. And some of them don't come back. There are plenty of other ways to stand up for the 2nd Amendment. Valuable ways, but different. Perhaps Keith--now this IS for you--you can tell me just ONE other way that equals the commitment one makes by serving in the military. Under what other circumstances does one offer to put his life on the line for the Constitution and his country--and leave his fate entirely in the hands of the government?.... How would you reconcile that with the selfless military stint of our current sec. of state?

I use a nice little hinton of taunton boxlock for clays. Its nothing special, just the usual british boxlock ejector. I have been told by plenty of people that its unsuitable for clays as its too light. But to me if the gun fits you properly (which it does) and you use the light 1oz or less clay loads (which i do) then being pounded by recoil need not be an issue.
I have also heard the old chestnut that old side by sides simply can't stand up to the constant firing of shells at clays. My response to that is have a look online at youtube or the like and watch a video of a driven pheasant or grouse shoot, those guns never stop firing, and most of the quality old guns over a hundred years old are still going strong.

After a while, even this kind of stuff loses its entertainment value. Perhaps an old fashioned duel to settle it once and all? Or at least to end it.

franc, like other trivial negativity that some times invades our normally pleasant lives, thread trashing can be annoying if one allows it to be...i find it rather amusing, as it provides me with an opportunity to contemplate clever responses...jousting with turds can be entertaining.
meantime, i did start a new thread re sxs's for sporting clays...please feel free to participate if you dare...

mt: as too dueling, it is my understanding that it was a practice utilized by gentlemen to settle disputes...as i do not consider my critics here to be gentlemen, your suggestion is not worthy of consideration...besides, some of them may be better shots than i...

hey, long as we are off topic, any body watch trump's speech last night in ny? it was mostly about the high lights of his early real estate development successes in the ny metro area...i lived and worked in and around nyc when he was working on some of those projects...i was a big fan of trump back then and am even more so now...much of what he summarized last night may be found in detail, in his book. "the art of the deal"...if you really want to know how trump operates, read that book.
keep it simple and keep it safe...
