Upland hunting with hammer guns

[Dean Romig]

You should hunt with hammerguns with whatever method both you and your shooting companions feel most safe.
Me... I hunt with hammers back and breech open until I enter the cover. Then and only then it is breech closed with muzzles pointed skyward. Whenever I am not in the act of deliberate hunting the breech is again opened.

[Bill Murphy]

I prefer cocked and open when hunting with someone else. It is the only position that seems to make others comfortable. When shooting in a preserve situation with a guide and dogs that are not yours, all guns should be open or empty until a dog is on point. Distort your shells to keep them from falling out of the gun.
