I have long thought that JB is likely to be remembered as the shooting sports writer of his era, just as JOC was during his era.
When I was a kid growing up in northern New England there were 2 writers who were generally regarded as the best at what they did, JOC and Warren Page. JOC was more hunting oriented and WP was more technically oriented. I can't think of JOC doing much, if any, gunsmithing while at the same time I can't imagine WP doing nearly as much actual hunting as JOC.
OTOH, JB seems to be a jack of many trades and a master of many of them.
