DAM16SXS, I can shoot any gun well, until I buy it and take it home. I have proven it several times including running a hundred straight in Skeet, at a registered shoot, with a gun I was thinking about buying at the time. It must have only had the one straight in it because I never ran another with it after that at a registered shoot. It was great in practice but not in registered shoots. So down the road it went because we all know it is the arrow or the bow not the Indian.
I like going from SxS to O/U to Pumps to Semi Auto guns. I shoot them fairly well, without much need for adjustment. Single trigger, two triggers, short barrels or long, makes no short term difference. In fact, if I had to shoot just one I doubt I would be interested in shooting for long. And my gun room proves my lack of attention span as my wife point out. A few of these, a few of them and a more than a few of those and they all get used for something. I like to hear the sound bang. It makes me smile.

What matters is balance and gun fit not the length of barrels. For perfectionists there are custom made bespoke guns, so called. With one of those you will shoot better because the gun was fit to you that is exactly the same as wearing tailored suit from Milano or shoe made to your foot or foot mold in London. It is very obvious that custom suit and shoes will make one look & feel better than something off rack at Brooks Bros. or Jonston & Murphy outlet.

Karl, I once had over a thousand golf clubs. A Play It Again Sports resale store closed and they were throwing used golf clubs and bag into a dumpster. I had them put them into my truck instead. Three loads later I had a pile of clubs the size of a small tank. Gave them away to a boys club and local high school. I did keep a few of the worst ones to spell the word golf on the wall of my office with bent clubs. People loved it. Thought I was bending clubs around trees when I played.

Michael McIntosh played golf as I remember. I'll bet those kids put those clubs to good use and enjoyed them.

Hope they did. Now days they might use them to club a person not a ball. The local boys club had a program for boys teaching them golf. This was the time Tiger was just winning every major. That's been 25 plus years ago I bet. Time flies.
