Even a one-eared dog looks pretty good when he never misses pointing and holding a covey, or never fails to retrieve a bird. I prefer a "meat dog" to a Westminster winner.

In the eyes of many, who are much more serious than us about their shooting, pretty is as pretty does. Which is why you never see a double triggered gun at a pigeon shoot when the shooter is serious about the stakes, or in the hands of an Olympic competitor, or........... ad nauseam.

True, double triggers "belong" on a classic English double gun, but it is not accidental that the single trigger dominates the market in new doubles produced today, and for the last 50 years, give or take. You and I don't have to "like it" or even accept it. The world, at large, does.
