Hello All:
I just recently acquired a Krieghoff 470 NE D/R and had a chance to take it the range last week to shoot a box. All I can say is I'M HOOKED!!! I had never shot anything that big - 375H&H being the "biggest" up that point.
I can see the potential for developing real bad habits (flinches, fumbling reloads, etc). That being said, I'm thinking about whether a shooting school/instructor that focuses on DR training will be worth the $$$ and time. By way of context, I'm preparing for a Cape hunt next summer (2013); I just got back from a successful plains-game hunt in RSA and have otherwise been a life-long NA hunter and competitive shooter (rifles, handguns and skeet).
Any first hand experiences with a shooting school or training that focuses on doubles? Do they substantially improve your game with doubles?
Many thanks!
Sergio
