I carry my gun closed with hammers down. If hunting over a dog and it comes on point I will cock both hammers while the barrels point skyward. If in the comapny of others I will carry the gun open and hammers down. When dove hunting I will cock the gun on the way to my shoulder with muzzels up. Same thing in the duck blind.
When I lived in Italy in the early 70's I shot two flats of shells a week at skeet. I shot a Barnardelli Brescia 20 gauge hammer gun. I shot International with gun down and hammers uncocked. On doubles I would cock the right hammer for the first bird then take the gun off the shoulder and cock the left barrel for the second bird. I shot in the mid 90's as I had an awful time of it at station 8.
