This comes up every so often, and the passionate dissertations in favor of one style over another can be quite amusing.

They're your guns, your targets, your birds. Do as you please. Just don't preach to me that your preference is the one and only true and traditional way and stick your nose up in the air because what others do is so obviously inferior.

I don't give a rat's ass. I shoot them all, equally well or poorly as your perspective may be. They are all fun.

What I admire in a shooter is the ability to pick any gun off the rack, adapt to it, shoot it well, and not [censored] about fit, triggers, mid beads, glow worms, recoil pads, screw in choke tubes, swamped or raised ribs, barrels side by side or stacked, jam-o-matic, trombone, or the patent number.

Now I'm not saying I don't do any of the above, it's just that I find the ability to shoot anything that comes down the pike admirable. With me it's a work constantly in progress, but I do strive. Variety is half the fun.
