LG,
Those blueskinned land barons rarely see the light of day, let alone get any exercise. They need a featherweight gun just to be able to heft it for an afternoon shoot (no, not hunt) of peasant driven birds.

Also a point to keep in mind is that the best big money live bird shoot pigeon guns are "heavy guns". Don't it make you wonder why? They could have any gun they want. They nearly unnamimously chose a relatively heavy gun....why? All big name clays shooters and all the no-name clay shooters (any game) chose a relatively heavy gun...why?

If a 6 1/2 lb sxs gamegun was THE GUN regardless of the application, wouldn't you expect the big money to be shooting them?

Frankly, all kidding aside, it escapes me as to why a person standing still, shooting, not hunting, would desire a light gun, some with short barrels. Perhaps the lessons of gun evolution were not quite through their sinusoidal excursions?
