Question for small bore shooters.

[Billy Gross]

Craig - I shoot lots of 28 Ga with my K-20, and an occasional 12 Ga with my K-80. It is all about the weight and center of mass of the gun. As Newton's Second Law says: F=MA. The force exerted to track the bird is very different because of the weight and CM of the gun. I don't think O/U or SxS makes that much difference - we are looking at the bird, not the barrels. Skeet and Clays will give you the best feel for the various crossing angles. Shoot in the style that you hunt, don't get wrapped up in technique. Billy

[C.O.B.]

I shoot a lot of small bore guns as I'm not a 12ga guy but I do have them and enjoy shooting them but not as much as a light 20.

It's hard to go from an 8lb 12 to a 5 1/2 lb 20 or 28 as they handle much differently. When I shoot clays if determine a point where I want to break the target, set my feet towards that point so I have plenty of room to swing and be aggressive. When shooting targets I don't like to go from a 12 to a 20 then back to a 12 and so on. If I'm going to shoot small bores then that's what I shoot that day.

It's just as hard to shoot a 12 when your used to shooting a lighter gun. There is a certain Fox 12 that I'm learning to shoot
