I have been facenated by 10 doubles for years now. I even owned one and used it on waterfowl for several seasons. I am convinced now that they are purely a young man's game.
The shorter, early 10s are likely to be the most practical (because 3.5-inch 10s beat you senseless). The added weight most of them display is necessary to help with the significant recoil they tend to produce. I'm sort-of a bigger guy and shooting one in my 40s wasn't too-bad (shells were plentiful and relatively cheap then) but the thought of lugging one anywhere now and then being abused by it leaves me a little cold.
They can be very effective, but...nothing about them is easy anymore, at least not for me.
