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.
LOL!! I hear ya Bronko, I remember an Old Single Shot Iver Johnson 12 Gauge Shotgun that my Dad had when i was a Kid, that darn thing Kicked like a MULE!! I can only imagine a Double barrel & Both going off
I was talking to Dave Anderson (Cayugad) on the Phone a few years back (RIP Ole Buddy) He told me a Similiar story to yours, He was setup for Turkey, When one finally came in He accidentally pulled Both triggers on a Double Barrel Shotgun, He said it Knocked the Stuffing out of him
Dave Got to Laughing telling me the Story, he was Genuinely having a hard time telling me the end of the story due to laughing, Which got me going, We were both Rolling laughing over it
I sure miss Dave’s Posts, It’s neat when an Older topic gets brought up and Dave is in it. He was a darn good guy. I didn’t know Dave real well, But what i did, I thought the World of him
