Shooting double triggers
 

Whats your posion, 1 or 2 fingers in trigger guard.

one.

Yes sir....just one. Come to think of it how can you get two fingers in there?

one

can't imagine shooting safely with two in there

One finger only. It's the only way that makes sense.
Generally your finger trips the forward trigger first because most birds flushed fly away from the shooter. If you miss with the first shot your trigger finger moves instinctively to the rear trigger (with the tighter pattern) for the more distant 'going away' shot.

It may sound like a difficult coordination of trigger finger position but it is the simplest thing in the world. About two or three rounds of skeet or sporting clays will get you there in a hurry. Learn to love double triggers.

The first time I decided to shoot a two-trigger gun I put two fingers in. Got a painful lesson and a bloody gash in my middle finger. Since then I use one.

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....:corn:

I've certainly tried... once.
