Mark,
When I was stationed in Naples, Italy in the early 70's I shot a little 20 gauge hammer gun at skeet. I would shoot about 500 shells a week and would cock the gun as it came to my shoulder. On doubles I would cock the right barrel and fire, drop the gun off the shoulder, cock the left barrel and shoot the second target. I was not a great shot doing this, but averaged about 96 out of 100. Station 8 was my nemisis as I was shooting International and you could not mount the gun until the bird left the house. When I am in the field I carry the gun with hammers down and gune closed. When the dog goes on point I will cock both hammers and flush. If a bird flushes without warning I will simply cock the gun and fire.
