I'm sure it takes a lot of practice.

I witnessed this only once. New Years Shoot in NH years ago. Austin Hogan did this with his hammer gun. Skeet station eight. Called for a double, low house first and overhead from high house. Hammer gun uncocked, mounted low gun. Called pull, cocked both hammers and he smashed them both.
