Here is my observation. Entry level extractor 12ga guns follow the economy and consumer confidence. Consumer confidence has rebounded to the highest level in years. I sold more entry level guns in the 1st 1/4 of this year than I sold in the past 4 years.
As far as young shooters not shooting SxS goes this is nothing new. 45 years ago I was the only one I knew shooting SxSs.
The guys buying the entry level guns tend to be 55 to 70 years old and getting in to there disposable income years. Lots of boomers coming into this group.
