I'm a skeet historian, so I could bore you with anecdotes. However, I will give you only two. Dick Shaughnessy won the All-Bore National Championship with a 16 gauge Model 21, years after state of the art automatics and pumps, as well as over unders had dominated the game. The first 100 straight in small bore NSSA registered skeet was shot by K.C. Miller with a side by side. This was also years after the Model 42 Winchester was recognized as the gun to shoot to win.
