Re: Hammers on firearms for dangerous game hunting?

That's likely a good idea, EDELWEISS, with primed cases.
I bought a side by side Field hammer gun in 2 1/2" 12 bore for shooting at rendezvous.
The gun is sweet and working the hammers was not a big deal. Missed 2 birds (or was it 1?) on the quail walk
thus pulled out a second place. There were close to 50 shooters.
The fellow who won, was shooting a 2 3/4" chambered modern single shot with a hammer - choked, of course. Had to get on them quickly with the cylinder bored double.
All black powder loads, of course.
Well done Daryl. Amazing how the winner is often someone shooting something otherwise a handicap.
"Quail"? I'm guessing these are quail like clays? What do they do, suddenly burst up from a bush while you are doing the walk?
