The .410 SKEETER that I owned a few years back weighed 6 lbs., 12 oz. with either set of barrels. (both were 26") I shot better skeet scores with that gun than any 12, 16, or 20 that I ever used.

I think that tubed gun gave you a few more ounces in the barrels and some folks just do better with a gun that is slightly heavier in the front end to help with a smoother swing for the way they hold the gun.

What point did we miss?

I'm looking for it. If Daisy finds she will hold point until we figure it out

Craig lets shoot a round of 20ga at Hausmanns. Maybe we can help each other, it's been a very long time since I had to swing an 8lb 12 ga
Some of us will arrive Wed to shoot Rock Mtn on Thursday if you would care to join us. I plan on shooting the upgraded 28 at the Rock.

OK, another $400 worth. Dean, I doesn't know what "Other folks" as you describe them, do with a heavy gun or a light gun. It is your job to shoot well with all guns. You are not locked into one gun or the other. You must learn how to shoot all guns rather than to have an excuse for the gun you are shooting today. Dr. Truitt doesn't excuse himself when he is shooting a light gun or a short gun. He shoots them all well and makes his corrections over the next few months. OK, this was not a freebie. You owe me $400.

Before I pay you Bill, you first need to convince me that you had a valid reason to single me out.
