As ever , a mine of information and knowledge here which I appreciate no end.


Don't feel bad when I first saw two triggers I thought the same thing but never tried it.

I'm betting you had both fingers on the 2...thus the 22 bore was born

Yes, dont feel bad. Lots of beginners think the same thing. But, thats not how to do it. When I first shot double triggers I went to the skeet range and practiced front to back, then when skilled, back to front. Thats the beauty of double triggers, one can instantly go to the tighter choke barrel when the need arises. I remember the first time I hunted with double triggers....had a single shot all day long. Couldnt force myself to go to the back trigger. A few rounds on the skeet field was the cure. Back to your gun, at least you know its not a problem with your gun. grin

Typo- its a 12 bore. Also good to know Im not unusually incompetent. Tell you what though, both barrels made a helluva mess of the patterning paper at 20 yards. So it I ever need to use it for the wrong reasons its both barrels!!
