I once read about an "automatic" double barreled fowler made by Holland & Holland. As I remember, it was made back in the last quarter of the 19th century. It had a single trigger. The shooter drew a bead on a raft of ducks floating on the water and pulled the trigger.---About a half a second later the second barrel fired "automatically". Supposedly it would kill yet more ducks on the rise. A true market-hunters dream.------I suspect that Destry probably owns it today.---Daryl
