Funny about back trigger 1st. I started shooting my dads 12 ga. NID when i
was
14 years old. I was shooing 1 1/4 oz duck loads in it and every time I shot the front trigger 1st i would cut my middle finger open. I just couldn't reach the front trigger with my small fingers. I have a lump in my middle finger just behind my knuckle from healed up scar . Now I too shoot back trigger first 99% of the time with all my SxS's. On in coming birds thats the way it should be done any way after all they are getting closer.

I have a super 10 and with all the test patterns i shoot i find the ithaca's shoot the tightest patterns. I did get a 99% pattern with a 1 oz of 7 1/2's with one of my super 10's
