Re: Why aren't light caliber doubles more popular?

Re "The hunter with a bolt will loose the sight picture racking the bolt" (while the Double man keeps his grip and alignment and goes to the second barrel.Two fast aimed shots!!)

Whoever shoots like that should go and do some practice.

1. You should reload your bolt action from the shoulder - ie you shouldn't have to lower the gun to cycle the action.

2. You shouldn't need to look at the gun / action while you are cycling the action

3. You should keep your eye on the game / animal you have just shot at - as far as possible.

4. With a 30 - 06 calibre type Bolt Action, you should be able to get 4 accurately aimed shots off in 10 seconds at 3 different targets spaced 10 yards apart at 25 yards.

But doubles are so much more fun !!!
