And many of my second shot misses are the result of me hunting the back trigger which doesn’t exist. So these should be considered operator errors. But in a game where a single target can mean the difference between winning and losing, you got to go with what works for you. And it also doesn’t hurt that the double triggers freak everyone else out.
On another note, in a game like doubles trap, a beaver tail forearm is an absolute must.

I had a VHE 20 with a factory original single trigger and a time or two I was trying to get my finger behind it . But the two VHE skeet guns I have at present and the VHE vent rib trap I had were all factory Parker singles and never found myself looking for the back trigger . Again the only time I had issue was shooting the vent rib trap at box bird quail and that was 100% me trying to shoot the second barrel to fast and not letting the trigger reset . Being 32 yards from the boxes and the back fence only 16 yards in front of the boxes makes me wanna shoot a heck of a lot quicker than I normally would . Again pairs at SC never caused this or doubles at skeet/trap or Colombaire birds , but again I never shoot that quick at those games .
