My memorable experience on a third shot:
A number of years ago I was hunting with my Nickel steel Mod. 12. I was stepping over a big rotten log and was a bit off balance when I jumped a rabbit, shot and missed. No big deal as he just went a little ways and I'm already thinking rabbit Étouffée. Then for gosh sakes I made a very poor shot and missed the second time. Embarrassed and a bit ticked off I shucked the third shell a little too hard, still off balance, and the gun slam fired. The next thing I know I'm knocked off balance and sitting on my butt in the mud.
I think of this whenever contemplating that third shot. The SxS now protects me from myself.
