Why did you take up shooting the Double?
22/07/04 04:49 AM

I was wondering what inspired everyone to take up shooting the double or perhaps why you are considering taking up the double. Not just the practicalities of a second shot at dangerous game but what “sparked” that first interest and what maintains it.

I have my reasons, mostly tied up with working through my Fathers library at a very early age; Ruark, Murray Smith, Hunter and all the others have a lot to answer for, filling a small boys head with magic. It sowed the seeds of the “right” way to hunt, up close and off hand rather than at a distance and detached. I will probably hunt only one elephant and want to hunt in the most unforgettable, time-honoured and cherished way I can, small boys dreams.

Regards

Phil
