I agree about the Indian, BUT, there is no doubt in my mind that the single sight plane, single trigger guns are quicker to become successful with for most everyone. And as much as I love SxS and that’s all I shoot, if it was my kid that was getting serious they would have the best o/u gun I could provide. Then if they wanted to follow me and the dogs into the uplands they would learn to operate double triggers and carry a SXS.
I applaud the organizations like PGCA and shooting facilities like the Rock that find a way to get a SxS to a youth. My own personal view is we must attract the youth every chance we get! I realize new members here aren’t youths, and we need the young successful adults that can afford a Parker, and that price level is increasing every year. But first we have to make them want a Parker or a AH Fox, LC, Lefever…. Rant over.
