Interesting observation, Mal. Descriptions of a gun such as "dynamic," "poorly balanced," and "poorly dimensioned" tend to be very subjective, or so I've found. One men's "dynamic" is another man's "whippy." One man's "finely balanced" can be another's "butt or barrel heavy." Such diverse opinions is why, IMO, the market has a fairly wide spread of handling performance guns that fetch about the same price for the same BV-OQ-CC. You, personally, gotta admit that you can shoot a wide range of handling numbers very well; I can invoke Vintage Cup scores to prove that if necessary, too!! Now, you may very well ENJOY shooting "dynamic" guns much more than others. What one shoots well and and what one enjoys shooting can, and very likely are, two different sets of handling numbers. A few years ago, pigeon guns didn't sell well and you could hardly give away a fowler. Vintage shooting of clays seems to have created a market for SXS guns more suited to clays shooting than are the typical game pattern guns. Interesting!!
