The one we saw had a nice take down case and everything. It was one of those things we weren't looking for that gun nor looking to spend that kind of money and a month or so ago, we look at each other and ask why we didn't nail it.

Just got a second dove invitation over lunch so I may try two of the three barrel sets on the Superposed. Probably 20 and 28

For their intended purpose of shooting NSSA Skeet, I find nothing better for me.



The 20-gauge in this set is the Standard weight. The 20- and 28-gauges and the .410-bore are all within a fraction of an ounce of seven pounds. I also have an extra 20-gauge New Model Skeet that is a Lightning going six or seven ounces less.

I didn't know that the Standard Weight 20 was made as late as the New Model Skeet.

Thank you for the compliment !

But that actually isn't to good !

When I quit competing at skeet my 410 average was 96.5% and my 28 gauge average stayed a hair above 98% which kept me AAA in the little guns . Now that unto itself sounds pretty good until you realize at a big shoot like the now defunct Great Eastern or the old North South where 50+ of the big boys showed up these guys were like 99.5% or better with the 28 and 98%+ with the 410 so if I was having a good day I might outshoot some of them but very rarely if ever all of them .

To put the NSSA average thing in perspective to get your minnimums for a year you need to shoot 1200 with the 12 and 1000 with each of the smaller gauges and 500 doubles . I saw alot of years where the high average leaders for the 12 , 20 and 28 might have gone clean for the entire year . And a few times I remmember more then one guy in a gauge going clean for the whole year . I dare say Todd Bender went clean for the year in the 20 and 28 several times and I think he did it in the 12 a time or two as well . Seems to me the best I remmember for the 410 was like 995 out of 1000 .

The first BIG shoot I ever attended was in Winston Salem at the now defunct Bingham and Parks gun club , at the time Bruce Evans and his wife owned the place . Anyway it was like a
55-60 shooter shoot but of the shooters probably 40 of them AA/AAA . I tied for LAST in the AA (there was no AAA at this shoot as there were not enough participants to offer the class) with a 390 overall . I tied George Lehr a past Open Team All American with that score , but the kicker to the whole thing was out of the 50+ shooters on hand there were THREE 400x400's recorded . So you could say as far as shooting with the big boys I got my cherry popped in big fashion that weekend LOL's !
