I think he meant “ditch chicken” which, is slang for pheasants. Best, Ted Yep. Typing on my phone without glasses. Anything can happen. Just a typo. Ditch chickens they were. Quite a lot of them.

I enjoy the technical changes on guns from 1870s through 1900 and I shoot the ones I have.where I live there is almost zero interest ,at local gun shows you might see one sxs I guess there is no tradition here even though everyone here is from some where else. I am finding the same thing. Not only are there less SXSs but the shows are getting smaller and smaller with less quality of guns. I recently started a thread about the National Gun Day Gun Show in Louisville, Kentucky. I noticed as soon as I got there that they had moved the gun show to another room- a much smaller room, because there were fewer dealers and customers. I like Model 21s. I used to see 25-30 at that show. This time I saw 8-10, if that many. And about 1/2 as many tables. I hadn't been to that show in probably 10 years. The gun stores aren't that interested in stocking SXSs because most people today are younger people and they want automatic handguns and AR-15 type assault weapons. I guess I was the same way when I was younger. Only it was a .357 and .44 magnum revolver and Elmer Keith. Now it is Model 21s.

I am depressed by this post….I’m just beginning my addiction to these infernal things. No one warned me that the old SxS stuck in back of the safe would one day take over my life. I managed to ignore it for 25 yrs, now I have 3 and looking for more. The new a400 now occupies the back of the big box. I hope the few guys Ive seen at Rio Salado course with doubles aren’t the only ones….

DoubleTake:
That is the right answer! I'm just back from two days shooting in SW Scotland, with pheasants crossing over us (mere mortals standing in the burn) about 40 yards above us. Most survived, but we had a great time. The previous party of Austrian double-gunners plus loaders did no better than my Webley 600 with 3/8 and full choke.
