Same here Dean. Craig L. was asking for suggestions for shooting a smallbore SxS, not an O/U. The two are VASTLY different in handling characteristics. If I tubed my K32 with 20ga. tubes I would certainly shoot a much higher score but it would feel like a club in my hands. That is not why I shoot a smallbore SxS. They are just plain sexy and fun to shoot. As I get older fun trumps score and if I score well with a 20 or 28 all the more fun.
You missed my point entirely !

And no a tubed O/U doesn't feel like a club . Well not once you get used to it atleast .

With a Superposed O/U 410 that weighs about 7 1/2 pounds and an Iver Johnson side by side 410 that weighs less then 6 pounds I shot virtually the same scores . Granted I shot better with a tubed gun but then again that was a few years ago .
