Shooting double triggers

[edgarspencer]

The only time I ever remember ever using anything but my index finger was because I had a bandage on my index finger. There is no way anyone can convince me that you have the same "feel" with your middle finger, that you would have instinctively developed over time. I did know a guy who lost part of his index finger and learned to adapt using his middle finger, but that would be expected anyway. I'm a lefty, but can't say I have ever noticed anything awkward with the conventional left-right offset on a double trigger gun. Each of the two partridge I got this past weekend in VT were taken with the left, after missing with the right ( Naturally, with a Parker)

Has anyone here ever actually succeeded in firing each barrel separately, under control, with both fingers inserted? I suppose a heavy gun with very light loads might make it possible....

I've certainly tried... once.

I've had a few English guns with articulated (hinged) front triggers, but they were on small bore guns, making it less necessary to begin with.
