Larry,
I was shooting at about 500 target a week back then. I would be lucky to shoot in the 80's if we went out to shoot skeet today. I shot a round a few months ago and missed high house 2 of all things.
Dean,
I mostly hunt hammer down gun closed, but find that I use all the methods you mentioned as the situation dictates. The British are hammer down gun open hunters and the muzzels are pointed straight up before cocking the hammers. I've gotten a little sloppy about cocking the hammers with the muzzels pointing down range at the sporting clays range. I clean up my act when a field and should practice my hammer gun etiquette on sporting clays. With a hammerless gun I always have the safety ON while shooting skeet, trap or sporting clays. It is on in the field so I get plenty of practice taking it off.
