Question on the Trigger Sequence in a Double
      14/07/09 03:59 AM

I'm not clear on something that is probably well understood by most double rifle aficionados on this board: When firing a large caliber double rifle, is it customary to pull the rear trigger first and then the front trigger? This would make sense to me inasmuch as when I have fired the lead trigger first on a couple of occasions I have inadvertently fired both barrels due to the recoil causing my trigger finger to slip and engage the rear trigger.

However, when watching various hunting videos, I have noticed that most hunters will fire the lead trigger first and then the rear trigger. Some are wearing gloves, which undoubtedly provides a little more grip. My triggers are very smooth; throw in some sweat and dust thrown and the trigger becomes damn slippery.

My double is at a gunsmith having some custom work done on the rear sight, and I was thinking of having the front trigger cross-hatched or otherwise provided with some manner of non-slip surface. Any thoughts out there?
