Anyone else enjoy shooting with a high rib on your SxS? Perhaps a sin to purists, but I find I shoot much better with the high ribs such as was imported in the past by SKB. Am I the only one to confess? I really enjoy shooting clays with my 28 and 410.
I bought my first SKB sxs back in 1972. I don't think many people were aware of it, but SKB did offer sxs skeet guns back then. But they didn't have high ribs and they weren't very common. The high ribs didn't appear until the385/485 models, which were imported just before SKB ceased making sxs in Japan. I bought one to try as a target gun. I think I misunderstood something. I figured that the idea was to float the target over the rib. When I got to Station 7, I couldn't hit the low house unless I blotted the target out. While that might have worked for those with more pure target shooting experience than I had, it didn't work for me. Later on, SKB also offered Turkish made doubles with high ribs. I left those to others.
