My first shotgun was a single shot hammer gun. I became adept at cocking of the flush. I haven't hunted with my Husky yet, but I have shot clays off my Trius one step, and cocking both hammers and breaking the birds about the same distance as the hammerless guns. Also shot the grouse walk at last years Great Northern with the hammers cocked and broken open. Scored better than most of the rest of the squad with hammerless guns with the safety on. Practice gun handling so you just react.
