How to handle HAMMER DOUBLE GUNS?
09/12/04 01:35 PM

This is a nagging question I have:

What is the best way to address the target with a hammer double rifle, or a hammer double shottie, for that matter?

On the personal level, I have a couple of hammer double rifles, and one hammer double shotgun. All are somewhat new to my battery. I have shot my Purdey .500 BPE double rifle quite often, and I intend to hunt with it. However, I am a bit perplexed about how one is to react when addressing the quarry. I would assume you cock both hammers, mount the rifle, and fire as normal.

Do you cock the hammers with a sweep of the hand, or do you thumb each one individually? Maybe there is another motion I have not thought of.

I really would like to know the efficient drill to cock, mount, and shoot the rifle (or shotgun).

Thanks for any info,
CptCurl
