This may sound brutish and judgemental. But from experience I have found I don't like double guns in a duck blind. Particularly an O/U, it's too easy to stick the muzzle into the mud or water when the gun is opened to reload. Shots in duck hunting are often taken crouched, sitting, even lying down, in the water, in mud or in boats. The wind often changes at daylight making the angles bad and distances marginal. I've hunted with a Winchester 21, didn't like it and felt I was putting the other hunters at risk. It has been my experience that double gun shooters wave their gun around too much during loading and reloading for the crowded conditions and hectic action of most blinds. Because you never know where that muzzle is going to be pointed and have to watch both the double gun shooter and the ducks, which means I won't be able to pay much attention to the ducks I have come to the conclusion to not push my luck in what can be a already dangerous environment. I will not duck hunt with a guy that uses a double in a duck blind.
