BlaserF3 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I would say practise, practise and more practise. Most of all be careful if your not both sure of each other's abilities just use one gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groach1234 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 A little bit of practice goes a long way i have loaded whilst my dad was double gunning and you get into the swing of it pretty fast. You only have to put up with the frustration of having a loaded gun in your hands with all those birds and not being able to shoot at them :yp: George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) Just don't let the pressure/excitement get the better of you. You will be holding a loaded gun and it can get swung in all directions. Even if you're being shouted at, do not forget to point BOTH (Regardless if one is unloaded) guns in a safe direction.

welshwarrior Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 As said practise and pratise some more. A dry run at the start of the day always helps settle both of you. I always insist the gun puts the saftey on before passing the gun to the stuffer. What ever you do just stay relaxed and don't drop a gun, but it's too easy the clash barrels. There was a good article a couple of months ago either in Shooting Time or Sporting Gun I think. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeh Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 The biggest tip I can give is don't get too excited and watch all the action. The moment you stop paying attention, you might clink barrels or so, and this can be an issue if it's on a matching pair of £200,000 purdeys.

Dunkield Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 So only about £130,000 worth of guns then, so the questions are: Could he shoot? Did he tip? Did you have to clean them afterwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
