I never understood the pigeon shooters obsession with single trigger guns.

P.S. I went to my first flyer shoot in years back last winter and half the guys were shooting automatics. I was shocked.

That would definitely not be the norm here in the Nort East Destry, I'm not sure that I've ever seen an automatic at any local flyer shoot.

Most are shooting mid level to very expensive o/u shotguns, with a few SXS's mixed in.

I believe my first SXS was an NID single trigger, but most of the guns I shoot currently have double triggers. I do not favor one over the other. Going from one to the other isn't a problem, but it did happen that I find myself feeling for the rear trigger when shooting a single trigger.

PS. My first gun was a pump gun, and No, I haven't reached 50 yet
