I took my 26 year old out to shoot sporting clays. He has only gone a few times. I brought along a C grade fox 12 and a Benelli Montefeltro 12 for him. He grabbed the Fox and I asked him if he preferred the Benelli. He thought the Fox was cool and shot it well, especially for a newbie. An older son, 46, did the same thing to me on another outing. Also an occasional shooter, he did well and enjoyed it. He felt it did not make any difference what gun it was. Neither shoots often due to work and family obligations. Surprised me but next time I will bring two sxs's.

So many guns, so little time!
