jaguartx,
I always thought John Jobson was a very fine writer--and also thought he should have been the shooting columnist for SPORTS AFIELD instead of Pete Brown, who knew a lot technically but whose writing was as dull as gray dirt. Instead Jobson was the camping columnist, where he was better than OK--but his real passion was shooting and hunting.
On the other hand, I cannot remember Jobson writing much about shotgunning either at targets or birds. Back in those days, shooting columnists for the magazines then called The Big Three (FIELD & STREAM, OUTDOOR LIFE and SPORTS AFIELD) were expected to cover it all, whether the shooting involved rifles, shotguns or handguns--or hunting or target-shooting. My guess is Jobson cared most about rifles. Same deal with the Big Three--they tried to cover every aspect of hunting, shooting and fishing--including camping.
