Gentlemen

Both of the double discharges were seemingly instantaneous, with no noticeable second "bang". In addition another hunter watching from a hundred metres or more away also did not here two bangs. I didn't even realise the second barrel had gone off though I did suspect it on the second double discharge. I believe both bullet impacts were close to each other as I did observe bullet strike on the first firing but we never really examined the lower shoulders for the entry and exit wounds, as they were generally below the water, and mud, line.

The recoil was not noticably heavy though as the story will show it did cause me to take a step back. The barrels did end up pointing in the sky too .

At this stage I do not know if it was a mechanical error or a human one and intended on returning to try shooting the rifle with a primed round in the left barrel to see if it happens again.

The buff did drop quite dramatically when first shot.
