I didn't come into SxS's until my mid 30's and I struggled mightily with them. Now 20 years and 20 SxS's (actual count!) later I've gotten a lot better with them, but I'm never quite as good or consistent as I am with an OU. That said, I'm off the SxS merry go round and have one 16 ga. SxS birdgun that likes me (older Silver Hawk), and a BSS for the range. My other bird guns are OU's set up as game guns.
