front or rear trigger
      11/04/08 05:53 PM

Hi all, a question. When I have fired a .375 H&H double rifle I normally fire the front trigger first then the rear. However, I notice in a couple of books offering advice, including Lou Hallamore in his book "In the Salt" which seems to me to be full of sound advice, that he advises on the big bores, presumably .450 and up to pull the rear trigger first to avoud accidentally doubling. He does go on to say that this observation will make his fello pros groan but I am interested in your thoughts out there. In a few weeks my .470 double will be arriving and I don't fancy getting both barrels at the same time. Is there a good way to "practice" ? I have fired a double .375 numerous times but a .470 only 4 or 5. Recoil was stout but not nasty in an 11lb rifle. Help please, best, Mike
