Lewis with that rabbit story you made me think of something funny that happened to me many years ago. I was 12 and I would hunt small game withmy grandfather and uncles. My dad wasn't into hunting. I used a hand me down H&R 12 ga single shot. A bout midway thru the season my one uncle decided I was responsible enough to use his old 12,ga SxS with double triggers. The basset hounds were in a rabbit on a fence row and it came busting out of there quite a bit in front of me but coming right toward me. Now mind you I was about 70 lbs soaking wet and I'm lefty. I leveled that SxS on the rabbit and at the recoil my finger slipped off the front trigger and hit the rear on. I hit the poor bunny with both barrel. He went backwards and so did I. The recoil from both barrels knocked me flat on my butt.
