I agree with Dean, "Thank you PB" ! I have a Parker G 16 that I shoot sporting clays with and a Bonehill 20 ga with 30" barrels that I really like shooting on SC's

Thanks for bringing this one back up Keith. One of my favorites as well.
Opposable thumbs (and maybe greater brain capacity) have made the human species the pre-eminent animal on Earth at present. Not using them to operate your doublegun should be a sin...Geo

I sometimes use the W&C Scott 2 7/8" 10ga I bought from a For Sale on this website to hunt Turkeys. The one below is one of a pair I called in and took with the Scotty the 1st time I used it. I heard a gobbler cluck up the hill on a two path logging road and called. Both birds came out of an Oak hammock and strutted side by side down the logging road and straight to me. I wanted to see what the Scott would do and waited till the birds lined up their necks. One shot laid them both down. There's only one bird in the picture because the other one got up to run when I walked up. The 10 pretty much destroyed that bird's head when he made a break for it. I didn't want to put the bloody bird on the hood of my car...Geo  Is that the same Scott as on the first page of this thread?

How do I use them? One barrel at a time.. Here's a Husqvarna 103C 12b from a duck hunt yesterday. Just finished working on the wood, still need to refinish the metal.

The majority of my doublegun shooting with hammers has been with a percussion muzzle loader. For breech loaders I prefer hammerless. This gun has safety & full cock notches, no half cock. In the field I always carried it with hammers in the safety notch. I have small hands & short thumb no way I could safely cock both hammers together. Upon flushing game i cocked one hammer & fired. If there was time or need I cocked the other & fired again. Sure I lost some shots but that was far preferable than endangering a hunting companion or dogs.
Never, Ever carry a gun muzzle or breech loading, hammer or hammerless having non rebounding locks with the hammer down resting on a live cap or primer, that is a total No-No.

though over the last ten years killing started to be not what I wanted to do like a number of my shooting friends, some how this way of thinking does seem come with age. So I use it as often as I can though now only for clay shooting with felt wad 1oz
I see the attraction of hunting, especially with good dogs, friends, family, an unspoiled landscape and an old gun. However, for me, the killing part makes it a no go. To each his own

I can see the attraction of hunting, especially with good dogs, friends and family. However, for me, the killing part makes it a no go. To each his own I wonder if that was true of the men who originally bought and used these guns we hold so dearly, or if it is more of a modern thought that is a result of our "more civilized" society? ("more civilized" is used sarcastically here) I cannot imagine my becoming so put off by killing a game bird that I no longer shoot doves or hunt ducks. I can see how the effort required to do so in our winter years may take a bit of the joy out of it, but that is another subject entirely. As you put it, BM, to each his own. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.
