I have shot crossover guns for quite a while, and seem to be a sucker for anyone who has one for sale. I shoot crossovers by Cogswell and Harrison, a pair by William Evans, three Parkers, a Krieghoff, and a 682 Beretta. I also have used the Carey sidesighter. After losing most of the sight of my right eye, I shot NSSA skeet lefthanded for one competition season. At the beginning of the next season, I used the Carey sight. I ran 100 straight in my first shoot using that device. It was a large shoot, the Zone 2 at Fairfax Rod and Gun Club in Virginia. I won the shootoff of 100s and a bucket of money. I have also had a good day or two at sporting clays with sidesighting devices. I won the first Southern Side by Side .410 event with a Parker and a homemade side sighting device. I consider that my biggest sporting clays win in decades of competition. My Parker PHE trap was my first crossover gun that I didn't fabricate myself. I decided it would be my dedicated pigeon gun, entered a flyer shoot at our club shortly after I found the gun. I had a good day, won a bunch of money and haven't won a dollar at our flyer club since. That is probably fifteen or twenty years ago. Bill Murphy
