Doncha think that competitive target shooters shoot O/U's for a reason?

Well I never owned a O/U until recently, been shooting only SXS for many many years. I can't say the limited use of the O/U has shown an advantage for me as of yet. Out of ignorance here, would one be at a really huge disadvantage shooting a SXS in SCTP?

I believe Randy Roberts is a AA or AAA Sporting Clays shooter and I think he only shoots a Parker side x side. So one might want to ask for his opinion.

I’ve found over the last twenty years I can shoot equally well or equally bad with either on the skeet field or trap field or sporting course . I like K-32’s K-80’s K-20’s and the original R-32’s . I kinda feel like if a person prefers one over the other then so be it . I never owned or shot an O/U until I was 24 or 25 but I’ve shot SxS’s for fifty years . Oh yeah and this is coming from someone that shot skeet/trap competitively for a good many years .
