On the same hunt Larry talked about I was using the Husqvarna hammer gun I shot at the Great Northern for the highest score I have ever shot there. I should have had an easy limit, but didn't take a bird. Boy were the dogs ticked off at me!

The wisdom Mr. Wood puts forth in the last sentence of his post above is worth Re-reading a couple of times....

Mr. Brown is spot on regarding the ease of use that a single trigger (and a properly shaped trigger guard) provide to Gloved hands in tough conditions regardless of the game sought.

I have the easy screw out "Gun Nut" escutcheons in the stock of a do all 12 bore O/U that travels with me a lot, and 3 different recoil pads of different thickness to meet most conditions, and I don't hesitate to make changes as conditions/clothes warrant.

Is there any problem that can't be solved with the purchase of a Model 37? smile

Mark, now you have the perfect excuse: misfit due to summer clothes vs winter clothes.

Are Duke and Rusty still refusing to speak to you?

I suspect that is why they came up with slip-on recoil pads especially those fancy leather ones. One tries the gun with hunting coat on then just a shirt on with slip-on pad in place to make sure the gun still fits. No problemo, yes?

There is nothing that early 6,5lb 12ga Ithaca 37 with Mod choke barrel can't handle when it come to small upland birds or running small game. The fancy vertical or horizontal doubles are only needed when Queenie or Dukie invites for a formal country shoot. That last scenario is like going to formal ball you become what you shoot and wear.

Well I really have no excuse because one of the pieces in my pile is a nice Damascus barrel try gun so I ought to be able to adjust to suit (no pun intended):)

You're still either scattering empties around, or have to spend time looking for them. No worries with a double . . . unless you have ejectors and don't "trap" the empties.
