Default Hammers

Targets with hammers are a little easier to manage safely. Hunting grouse with exposed hammers takes some thought and practice. I like to cock the hammers as I pass the dog, which I know Mark says he does not have.

The good news is that a dog gives one some warning of the impending explosion. The bad news of course is it takes away a perfectly good excuse for missing, requiring the shooter to be more imaginative.
