Rodney,
Sometimes you do need those extra shells. I recall the occasion I shot at a deer five times with an 870 Slug Gun before I got it killed. Hit it on the run with the first shot and knocked it down, then the crazy part started. It's a long story....... Destry

Not sure about other field trials, but in the Springer world, trials must be shot with a 12 gauge,"well choked" break gun. No three shots for us! The best trial gun I shot with used either a 32" F&F M21, or a Crown Grade Elsie

I was never there, so certainly don't know for sure, but I've heard and seen pictures that purport to show Andy Devine shooting his .410-bore Parker Bros. at the Nationals at Ames Plantation, Grand Junction, TN.

I know this isn't the Grand Junction, TN picture Dave is referring to... this was Andy Devine with his Parker .410 woodcock shooting in Louisiana with Grits Gresham & co.

In an earlier post, I incorrectly stated that a 20 gauge Superposed is a rare gun. I should have stated that a double trigger 20 gauge Superposed is a rare gun.

I have never seen (in the flesh) a two trigger Superposed of any gauge. I wonder how difficult it is to have one switched to double triggers? I have always prefered hunting with a gun with two triggers. When shooting a single select, I have never been able to switch to the other barrel after a covey rise. I just accept the barrel I've already selected, which is often the wrong one. It is easy for me to move my finger back (I am always set to fire the open barrel first.) and fire the other tube.

In recent years I've heard credible rumors that Hemingway's Superposed still resides not far from the Sun Valley area, and it continues to be carried in the field occasionally by an "Old Hunter"... Best, CSL __________________________ |
