Thanks Dave, you meant MS I'm sure. The guy who won HOA is an E-class shooter who was shooting one of the new Perazzi DC12's. Several shooters who had shot the gun said it had amazing dynamics. I was hoping to catch up with him and perhaps shoot it a little but never got the chance.

The two 16 gauge guns I owned were beastly...overweight and bulky. That's quite a combination. Apologies for following this post further off the 12 ga. sporting clays gun topic. But I think it's worth clarifying that there's a lot of variation in the configuration of RBL 16s. The 16 ga. frame is compact, and the standard 29" barrels on mine weigh just 2 lb. 12 oz. The hefty interchangeable pad system puts several ounces of extra weight on the standard RBL 16. Add a beavertail and pistol grip and you may have yourself a beastly and bulky gun. The RBL 16 stocks are thicker than they need to be, but CSMC reduced their weight somewhat on guns ordered without the pad system by routinely boring out a buttstock cavity. I wanted more than the standard LOP on mine, and the buttpad I had them install instead of the basic buttplate added some weight. It's not particularly light at 6 lb. 10 oz. (with straight grip and splinter forend) but it's a very nice carrying and handling gun. I recall a poster on an older thread reported his RBL 16 weighs 6 lb. 4 oz. Jay

Good shooting John!!
I'll bet you've relived that two target deficit several times now! E class shooter!! Hmmmmmm. Typical problem with our current classification system.
Best,

Yes, 6#4Oz. Not beastly at all.
Back in the game this fall, heading for MN in Oct. After losing last season I am counting days!
Chief
P.S. My apologies for the thread derailment also.

Way to go, John. Well done. Keep shooting like that and you will be in Donor class before you know it.
Hi! to your family for me.

In the 12 years of the Great North East SxS Classic, scores over 90% have been uncommon.
I believe the 2014 main event was won with 85%.
Each of the 6 side events by gauge were won with 86% or less.
I know this because the shooters actually carry scorecards.
There is no requirement that they be used or turned in, though.
I doubt the Bo-Whoop event has ever been won with a "light game" gun, though the purse money can be won with a SxS of any vintage and/or manufacturer.
I've never seen a score of 90% or more in either the UP SxS or its successor, the Great Northern. But that's a bit deceptive, because the overall program used to include both a flurry and a pigeon ring event, which lowered the average when added to the sporting clays totals. (Still includes both a pigeon ring and super pigeon, the latter of which is a bit like 5 stand shot over a ring.) This year, the Great Northern web page shows only a total score, not broken down by sporting/super sporting/pigeon ring. Last year, when the scores were listed for all categories, I know there weren't any more than a couple guys in the 90's at sporting clays. My 84 was good for 5th out of something like 95 shooters. We're not talking about this year.
