Great read about the history of the Over/Under and it's affect on the SxS shotgun

[Grouse]

For several decades now, the over-under has been the double-barrel for us to carry. In fact, O/Us are so popular that until about a decade ago, new, affordable side-by-sides ceased to be sold in the United States. Today, a few are around; but compared to over-unders, the total numbers hardly matter. In the grouse woods, on skeet fields, and across sporting-clay courses, if you’re shooting a double, you’re shooting an O/U. As one gunmaker told me  in 2019, “the side-by-side is dead.”

I used to bring my grandpa’s old Ithaca side by side trap shooting from time time, back when I shot on a league.  I would tell the guys with the over/unders:  “If God wanted you to shoot a gun like that, He would have put your eyes that way”.

I am a big double fan myself and have a favorable lean toward classic side by sides but I will admit I can shoot just a tad better with an over and under.

Bring it if you come out to shoot archery at our club. We'll break some clays too.

They all break.  In the air or on the ground……
