Help Support Clay, Trap, Skeet Shooting Forum:
The concept works but not really practical, certainly for clay shooting recoil would cause too much disturbance on the eye/rib relationship. No manufacturer offers this as an option and you never see them on the circuit though I wouldn't mind owning one one day.

It's a fascinating piece, but you're right. I wouldn't fancy actually trying to shoot it!

I've only ever seen one in action although they were doing one for a customer at the H and H factory last week funnily enough! Not much of a market though...
They used to be quite popular in the 60's, but I have only ever seen side by sides with CROSS OVER stocks. I think it is due to a lack of stock bolt on these guns that made it possible, I once loaded for a Guy with a pair of them, strangely enough, they were Hollands too. I have also seen an AyA No.4 which had been done by Richards of Liverpool. I found an easier solution to a master eye problem........................just lost the sight in my left eye !

did that chap say " apart from the cracked stock the rest of the gun is quite gorgeous " yeah right ok . ! its too rough for a hedge stake .
I think the chap in the video should be treated with the disdain that he so deserves .
Typical American sales manure from start to finish.
Let us get one thing straight .
No need to apologise at all for being left handed , God made approximately 80% of people right handed , but he did make about 20% correctly .
Remember he made quite a few F*** Ups, he made Women.
The CORRECT name for such a gun is a 'cross over stock' popularised after WW1 when we lost many many soldiers , and many returned home with the loss of an eye. We must remember that 1911 to 1946 was possibly the greatest years of the 'Driven Game ' scene and the 'Manorial' shoot was the highlight of village life , employing and entertaining many people in the local community. Have a look at 'The Shooting Party ' a lovely nostalgic film.
Crossover stock like so many shooting inventions were very popular and did serve a purpose.
Felt recoil is a bit severe and the guns are a good talking point , if only to highlight the craft of the gunsmith.
Probably more effective and cheaper to learn to shoot off the opposite shoulder?
