It may be cheating to use my 10 gauge on clays, but it sure is fun

Mills don't worry about using the big 10 on clays. I shoot with someone who uses one all the time:eek:

And they aren't bruised?

I usa a AAHE 12 ga and shoot #8 supr trap Winchester AA shells in it. The old girl keeps up with the Perazzis. I shoot it at trap and skeet as well, but the chokes are a little tight for skeet.

Ah, but that's the fun part Jim. Little balls of smoke hanging in the air so you can appreciate you handiwork. I shoot every gun I own at clays, skeet and trap from 28ga to 12ga. Never the same gun two days in a row. But I'd have to say my favorite, and the one I shoot the best, is the 32" 20ga. DHE that I bought from you and Jerry up at Sandanona a few years back. Thanks and good luck with all you have to deal with.

I see all you guys have really long barrels. Why's that? Mine has maybe 26 inch barrels. My Browning has a 28 or 30 inch pipe, but 34"? I bet you never stop your swing :rotf:

I shoot about 10 different guns at SC 5 of which are Parker's and i like a side by side at least half the time. Favorites are a 20 ga VH and 28ga repro.
They do get hot but not as much as a round of skeet with just two guys moving right along. I prefer a glove on the forearm hand vs. those sleeves some use.
While on the subject I usually don't fret on how hot they get and never saw any get too hot that something happened. I have heard of rounds cooking off but never saw it. Anyone have problems in this regard?

I never have, though I guess that's the perk of shooting with a bunch of people. It cools off between stations. All game guns, in my experience, get really hot. My dad has a 50 year old Stoeger 28 that gets hot through the forend.

What else would anyone in their right mind use but a SxS. Your two eyes are horizontal [except for Rich after a hard night] , the same as a Parker so it only makes sense.

You are talking to the choir. Even my wife is switching to side by sides after avoiding them for years
