That is a possibility, buzz. I can discern no difference in how quickly I can "settle the bead" on a flushing quail, or on a low house 7 bird, with a S x S or an O/U. There may be a situation or two where the S x S shines brighter than the O/U. The late great pigeon shooter, Billy Perdue, favored S x Ss for flyers. I read an interview in which he stated that the reason he believed S x Ss were superior in flyers is that it is mostly a game of establishing lead on a rising bird. He believed the wider "appearance" of the barrels lent itself to establishing that vertical lead faster, and speed is so important in trap pigeon shooting.
