By now I am probably an also ran, but I'll list a few off of my shelf.

1. The shotgunner's Book by Col. Charles Askins 2. Sure Hit Shotgun Ways by Francis E. Sell. Somewhere I have something by Jack O'connor, and can't find it.

I always thought that Don Zutz was the best technical person. I always thought that his thoughts on the Cutts Compensator were great. I think of the Cutts as the original backboring. Don zutz wrote many things for the annual Gun Digest. I think he also could be found in the American Rifleman at times. Forgive old age.

For some reason I kept a paperback. An Outdoorlife Skill Book titled Game Bird Hunting coppyright 1965. It seems very inclusive about guns, various game, and methods. I probably last consulted it in the early 70's about ptarmigan while stationed in Alaska during the early 70's.

Francis E. Sell also did a good book on deer rifles I have somewhere.
