My father had an old 12ga. Stevens double barrel shotgun he used to carry on the floorboard of his truck. When out in the counrty he would shoot the occasional quail, rabbit, snake, etc., with it. When I was about 16 or so (some 40 years ago) I saw something, cannot recall what now, I wanted to shoot. I got the old gun out, aimed, and instead of pulling the front trigger as is usual proceedure, I pulled the rear trigger first. BOTH barrels fired at once with a thunderous explosion, whacking the fool out of me. That is the worst recoil experience I can remember. Still got that old shotgun. Have not shot it in years. It is pretty worn and beat up. I have thought of having a gunsmith try to refurbish it.
