The benefits of double triggers for the unpredictable shots you get hunting are obvious. I think they are also a benefit for sporting clays. The main reason for me is on a selective single trigger gun I often forget to change the order of the barrels after a station. One station will have a long then close pair, and the next might be reversed and I often forget to switch the selector back to match the station. With double triggers that never happens.

They may be a benefit for the occasional sporting clays shooter. They are not a benefit for serious registered sporting competition. However, they should not be a hindrance either. If a true pair is set up so that you have to shoot them so fast that going to the other trigger is a problem, then that is a poorly set pair of targets. I believe I can move from one trigger to the next just about as fast as a single trigger can reset. Certainly fast enough that it has never been a hindrance. But, I shoot a single trigger on my comp O/U gun, and would never consider going to double triggers on it.

After many years of double triggers I shot a single selective trigger for a few years. The transition back to double triggers, which I now prefer, was painfully slow, and full of bobbled shooting opportunities.

The transition back to double triggers, which I now prefer, was painfully slow, and full of bobbled shooting opportunities. That right there is an honest post, and more in line with my experience. I have but a single single trigger gun, an O/U Beretta, the single trigger allows for use in severe cold, but, when I was younger, I did that duty with a double trigger. Having two roosters, or, two grouse, blast out from near your feet can and will screw with your recollection of what gun and trigger you are using. Barrel selectors seem to cause more problems than they solve. Thats my story. Enjoy your guns. Best, Ted

Having o/u's with single triggers for years, I chose to purchase sxs's with double triggers. The only exception was my first sxs, a Browning bss sporter. After becoming accustomed to the double triggers, I came to prefer them due to the simplicity of their use. My o/u's are gone now with only the sxs's remaining, and if used exclusively I find them easy to use.
I had read here on this forum before and find it to be true, "If at first you don't succeed.......try the back trigger"!

In my stable if it has two barrels it has two triggers, period! Always low gun on skeet and our local game of crazy skeet* (a hysterical hoot!). And I far prefer non ejectors. About as bullet proof a combination as man can make. Single triggers are a evil contraption made by the devil to entrap the unwary.
*Anyone looking to put a little spice back into their skeet field life should ask our member, skeettx, about how crazy skeet is shot. I will promise this: very few straights will be shot. And if you're a sober citizen who disdains a good laugh this game isn't for you.

I have a funny double trigger story. My shooting companion shoots a K 80 on the clays range with a single trigger exclusively. After years of seeing me come out with my side-by-sides he became intrigued with the idea of owning one. He found a12 gauge AYA side-by-side at a pawnshop which he purchased. He shot a personal best the first time out with it. Nonetheless, under the influence of his shooting friends, he was pressured and returned to shooting the K-80. He accompanies me to the Southern side by side every year and brings the AYA for an annual outing. This year, at station 1, he smoked the first bird, but his left barrel wouldn't fire. He continue shooting the station with only one barrel seemingly operative. On his last pair I noticed that he was neglecting his rear trigger. Upon informing him of the oversight, we had a great laugh.

Ever noticed how many folks who are not familiar with sxs guns and double triggers will put a finger on both triggers, thinking they will pull the front and then the back? The gun'll double every time! I've started explaining the problem with that before I'll let anyone I don't know well shoot one of my guns...Geo
