Keith and Gil are so-right about core-strength. My best gunning years were about 10-years or so ago now. Traveling and in the field for work, good eyesight yet (& decent hearing) & regular river wading (for trout) all contributed to better function with a scattergun. Injuries, illness and then time start to take their toll as you roll into your later 60s (it is starting to feel like it's becoming a war of attrition).
But...I still think that long tubes, great balance & 6lbs in the uplands is very hard to beat.
