NitroX,

Good subject / topic.

In terms of how we look at doubles - DG and the like - yes, I agree with you.

Small / Light doubles are fun to shoot with and good fun to carry around
but you do lose that long range ability.

We must remeber the reason light doubles were made - for taking deer and
for the more well heeled driven boar in Europe.

My William Horton was sold using an avert with a deer target as were quite a few
other guns of the time.
