Fingers crossed I'll be able to make it to gunsmith to get new spring. But just incase... Bought a 16 bore aya from fella down the road! I must admit to being an AYA fan. They are superb guns but not very popular because they are sxs and double trigger. The first guns i had were sxs so i have no problem changing between single and double triggers. I think the fall from popularity is due to people learning to shoot at clay shoots. The first thing they are handed is an o/u with which they are taught to shoot. It then becomes "the norm" and afterwards people either can't or are unwilling to try a sxs. There are two of us on our game shoot that use sxs, i like tradition and i think it looks sad the rest of them stood about with their numb handling heavy "clay pigeon guns". I taught my eldest grandson that shoots to use a sxs when he was younger. He was a member of BASC young shots and a local wildfowling club. They have a clay competition every year for the youngsters and he won it with an old AYA yeoman. He beat a kid his own age that has everything shooting related you could think of including a new Berretta o/u every couple of years. His dad is an ex England team shot and coaches him three times a week. When Sam beat him and it was by a fair margin there where some wry smiles from the old boys. I have two yeomans in twelve bore, a number three and my favourite a no4 in 20 bore. I am seriously considering buying a nice no2 sidelock. 5 Quote Link to post
FOXHUNTER 5,020 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I agree , I have always had a sxs . I think clay guns look awful on a game shoot they belong on clay grounds. 4 Quote Link to post
