Double means two birds, two shots (and recovered) from one rise.
Two birds with one shot is called a "Dutch Double".

new one for me -
always heard that called a "willie" locally
or "Scotch double" (i assume being thrifty saving a shell)- not to be confused with two shots of single malt which doesn't save anything
