I don't know why but seems that everyone thinks if I shoot my SxS it's supposed to make me miss more. Now admittedly I'm not a competitive shooter, just a hunter. Fact is though I shoot a SxS BETTER in the field than any other type I have tried. And NO I never had to cant the barrels to see the bird. I watched the bird, brought the gun to my shoulder & swung & fired. Usual result, Dead Bird.

"IF" I deer hunted in an area where the shotgun with slugs was a requirement I would likely prefer an old W-97 with its barrel chopped to no more than 24". I would prefer to cock that hammer than mess with one of those Stupid cross bolt safeties any day. The thumb was built to operate a hammer or safety & the finger to pull the trigger.
