It'll stay here awhile, I'm sure. But, in all honesty, I don't shoot it nearly as well as I do the 32" SuperFox. I don't know why. I have killed a six duck limit with six shots using the big Fox.

Nice shooting Stan and thanks for the pictures. I can answer your question about why you shoot the Fox better than the LC. It's a Fox. A Fox gets the game.

But wait…let the Smith speak for itself. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.)

Likely due to confidence/lack of confidence in the gun.

May be possible, but I don't think so. After patterning it I've got complete confidence in the gun's ability.

I've used it head to head against the Fox in consecutive hunts before, even for late season doves with lighter loads, obviously, and the Fox always hits with a significantly higher percentage for me. There's something subtle that is the difference, but I haven't identified it yet. May not ever. It's lighter than the big HE Fox, but I have other duck guns that are lighter that I shoot very well, such as the much used 30" BSS, at 7/11. Some guns are just harder to shoot well than others, and a reason often can't be identified.

Best, SRH

Fit. And the difference can be very subtle.
