Have to read the article still.

I started off with a side by side .410 with hammers.

Later a Hollis 12-bore with hammers.

I have a Azhur detachable side locked side by side. A Simson Suhl side by side. A Greener Empire side by side. My Grandfathers Stevens Side by side with one hammer! One missing.

Then I have the 12-bore U/O barrel set for my Tikka combination gun system.

I used to shoot reasonably with my side by sides. On clays etc. ALL of my guns shoot flat! On trap shoots I often have to cover the clay to hit it when firing.

I am quite upset I have been shooting badly with the side by sides. And shooting better with the U/O. It also shoots flat.

I have been doing a small amount of practice to improve again. And must do a lot more. Not sure why the degradation has happened, eyesight? Stiff neck? That is certainly a problem and does impede a good swing.

I like being the only person to shoot a side by side at many clay shoots.

As long as I shoot well.

Must read the article.
