In my case gun preferences seem to have skipped a generation. I started my oldest son shooting with a sxs on clay birds thrown with a hand thrower. He hit a few, and showed some interest in shooting but never did well until I bought him an over/under. I don't know if it was the fit, or feel, of the over/under but his shooting improved with that gun. We still shoot at various sxs events and he enjoys using my Parker's but whenever he shoots alone he goes right back to the over/under. My Grandsons, on the other hand, go right to the Parker's and Foxes. So maybe there is some hope. There might be a waning of interest now, but I don't think that the future of side x sides is as bleak as it appears.
