O/U (as in over and under) Question

[ProBusiness]

i prefer a short gun when upland hunting too. never said i didn't. i have a browning o/u 26" 20 gauge with english stock that is my 'pheasant gun'.

but, IMO - for skeet, trap, 5-stand, sporting clays, it is not the gun to use. you won't see it being used by guys who are competing.

a short, light, quick 26" barrel gun with an english stock is a 'pointing' gun. hard to beat in a quick hunting environment like quail or pheasant.

one thought about keeping or selling. a couple of the guns i now use guys were not using them and i am glad they decided to sell them because they are just what i was looking for.

My opinion Exactly!
Most of my shotgun time is for hunting, and do a bit of clay shooting.
The "fit" of the gun can make a huge difference.
I used to call BS on this, until getting into the clay sports.
