My first gun I went hunting with was a single shot, bolt action .410 shotgun my dad used for rabbit hunting up in Alaska. It took quite a few ptarmigan as well while we were up in Nome for a couple of years. It did what it needed to do. That was back in the 1960's when I was still a kid.
The first gun I bought when I was 16 was a single shot 12 ga shotgun that in retrospect was so light making it a complete beast to shoot. I guess we didn't think about the second shot that often, you had to make it happen the first time.
