Good idea Ted. How many people in the upper levels of the NSCA, NSSA and ATA do you see shooting a SxS? Not many, unless in the defined SxS competitions. I think to be competitive, in this day and age, one needs a single sighting plane to reach their best. Once skilled at the various shooting disciplines, its easy to switch to SxS. But, not to learn and excel, like you Ted, suddenly being forced to go from left to right handed. SxS shooting is harder, no doubt there. If SxS was easier and best, all the Natl champs would all shoot SxS guns, which is not the case. I love SxS guns...they are the prettiest guns, but pretty is as pretty does, and they are clearly harder to shoot well. Eightbore, are you in AAA class in skeet, and/or AA and 27 yard trap, and/or Master class in Sporting clays, while shooting your SxS guns? If not, then I suggest you try to be a bit more open minded re autos and other single sighting plane guns for shooting and shooting clays.
