No offense taken by me, but thanks for explaining. No problem with favoring one thing over another. Variety is the spice of life, they say. I just can't reason why someone would want to shoot clays with a 10 ga.
I have many doubleguns in .410, 28, 20, 16 and 12, and I use all those gauges. I choose the gauge and load that fits the situation best, which is why I no longer own a 10 ga., either short or long chambered. I have a lifetime of experience hunting game of all sizes with shotguns, from deer down to doves. IME the short ten was no advantage to me at all, and big and slow.
As I mentioned, I'm glad you enjoy them and are, obviously, enthusiastic about it. Just thought the comment about growing a pair was a little much, unless you really believe carrying and shooting a big bore gun is somehow macho.
I've probably had too much to say about it anyway, so I'm done. (I think I hear a collective "Whew!").
Happy Memorial Day weekend, SRH
