Opinions, please.

I think that we need to use only the gauge the gun was made for. It makes the shoot more real. Anyone can get sub tubes for any gun but the shoot is for the gauge the gun was made for. People have spent thousands of dollars to buy the proper gauges to shoot in these events and I think tubes should not be allowed. I bring down over 10 different guns for the S x S shoot because of different gauges and chokes, (all my guns are hard choked), so it does not seem fair to let someone to shoot everything with just one gun. Just my thoughts, Frank

I agree with you 100%,. I have spent many years and a considerable amount of money to collect an "original" group of Parkers to shoot in 28ga to 10 ga hammer and hammerless events. I enjoy shooting a gage specific event with a gun in that gage. I understand the desire to have one gun that you really enjoy, shoot well, and want to use gage mates to shoot all the events. That is not how the game has been played . Sorry John

I agree with Frank and Dave as well but not because of the amount of money spent on a group of guns. It's more the fact that someone who shoots one gun all the time will more than likely have an advantage and shoot better than the guy that is switching from an 8# 12 gage with 32" barrels one minute to a 5.5# 410 with 26" tubes the next. I see no reason to change an established rule for vintage SxS shoots and make them more like an NSCA shoot.
