I disagree completely. It take a lot of effort to get a double gun set up properly, but it can be done. I've got my Beretta 686UL shooting to same POI with two different chokes and weights of payload, Lower barrel, shooting 1.625 oz TSS 9x8.5s patterns well to 60, but is very tight inside 40 yds. The upper barrel, shooting 1.25 oz of reclaimed TSS 9x8.5s patterns well to 40 and is much more forgiving in close. I keep the gun set to fire the open barrel first in case one sneaks up on me or pops up close. Then I have plenty of time to think and switch to the long barrel if he's way out there. Works ok, but double triggers would be better.howl wrote:Might as well be a single. All that which choke business flies out the window when it's killing time.
But you're right that with a single barrel, aiming lower when they're close is a good plan.
