Hey H.jOe,
YOu're always being accused Of making asinine cOmments regarding a myriad of subjects. YOu might try using the "Twinkie Defense" made famOus in a murder trial Of years gOne by. Simply say it's all the sugar yOu ingest On yOur diet Of primarily Twinkies that make yOu say such things.

Hey guys, to each his own. I prefer double triggers and shoot my second shot without thinking about it, be it using the back trigger or front trigger. I do however have SxS's with single triggers. When I shoot those I just pull the trigger twice.

ST or DT? Once again, it is the buyer's choice.

Good point, Mark. I love double triggers on certain field guns, but on a dedicated clays gun, a single trigger works better for me.

I used to be a double trigger snob years ago, until I started shooting Sporting Clays competitively. I found it easier to transition from a field gun to my target gun when they all have single triggers. I could certainly shoot either one, but the single trigger eliminates one tiny thing that you don't have to do or think about when concentrating on the target, by not having to move between the front or back trigger for the second target.

For casual clay shooting, or tuning up for hunting season, it doesn't matter.

I've noticed an interesting phenomenon with my double trigger guns. The longer I shoot them, the straighter the front trigger gets. ???

Don't it make you lOOney tunes ?

Does anybody really "think" about that second trigger?

Well, it won't get pulled if your finger stays on the other trigger, that's for sure. It's subconcious, but it does require some brain activity to move the finger from one trigger to the other. If I were swapping around from gun to gun, between double and single triggers, I know that at some point I would try to pull the front or back trigger twice.

There was a prominent British SC instructor I was reading several years ago who stated that double triggers will cost you 1-2 targets in competition. How he arrived at that is anyone's guess, but I think there is something to it.

John,
Maybe what he said was they cost him 1-2 targets. He needs to shoot more and instruct less.

Maybe. Maybe not.
