Maybe not all writers have much interest or knowledge of shotguns?
I haven't owned one since about 1978 and only had 2 shots in 1988 at a tossed soft drink can, but honestly have no interest in them nor any game they are used for. Right up there with spear guns for me.
Not offering criticism, not even qualified to do that, simply no interest at all, but I do appreciate the workmanship of a good double.


When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
