Interesting topic. Based on some of the responses I've received in this forum, I'd really like to know he qualifications of those that say they are gun writers. I'm not a gun writer but have hunted for 46 years in 13 states plus Canada. I've hunted squirrels to elk and much in between. My gun collection isn't the largest but is substantial (IMO). But, I do not consider myself to be an expert hunter, but rather a well informed hunter and firearm owner. I must say that I've learn a lot from many that post in this forum. There are a number of well informed people here. But, there's also a good number that unfortunately don't have a clue. I for one would like to know the qualifications of those that post here as "gun writers".
