If I were to find myself walking a lonely grouse trail with a hammergun, I'd likely have to consider cocking both hammers (with the barrels safely pointed up) in the more "grousey" places as a preparatory move. I wouldn't do that if I had a companion, nor would I in the more-awkward places...

Presuming that I was to get comfortable with the concept (yet again), then a true game-gun weighted option would be the next step. A proper single-barrel hammergun would also be fun to try out sometime (sadly, I probably have more "wants" than the time to actually pursue them). All great fun to contemplate, right?

DerAmi: Funny that you should compare them to clutch operated vehicles. We have two of them here and inevitably when I climb into one I have to stop and think about it for a minute and then go right back to when that was "normal". The older one (from the 60s) is much easier as the pedals are big and well spaced apart. The newer one always gives me fits with my big feet (size 14).
