I'm almost 60 and find I've always been able to shoot my Beretta O/U's better than S/S's. I've shot trap, skeet, sporting clays and box pigeons and the overwhelming shotgun type I've noticed is the O/U. A couple of years ago I purchased a new Franchi Alcione in 12 ga and like it very much. When I was much younger I owned a Fox 16 ga S/S and had a hard time with it. I switched to a Franchi O/U and that started my transition to the O/U.
