In the hands of someone that's practiced and knows how to utilize a 2 barrel-2 trigger gun, there's definitely advantages in some upland hunting situations. I'm thinking flushing birds like pheasants, chukars and huns in open country. Over my setter or springer I'll often put up a bird at 10 yards one time and 30 the next. I just go to what ever barrel seems right. Are they far superior to single barrel guns? No, but they do give you options.
