The last time i went to shoot clay pigeons (not targets, Pigeons !), i took my old side by side. My score was as good, if not better, as the fashion victim with the garish beretta shooting cap-glasses (complete with blinkers, like a horse)-vest-gloves-cartridge bag, etc etc.

My point is the younger generation want the latest and greatest, the guns and equipment the blogs, magazines, youtube tell them they must have. I gave up listening to the rubbish the marketing men spout years ago.
