As for accuracy with smoothbores, I concur. Modern hunters have been brainwashed into thinking that only rifled barrels are accurate. Not true.
When I lived in northern Alberta I'd hunt ruffed grouse with a load of birdshot in one barrel and a slug in the second, because grouse season overlapped deer season on both ends. I could hit a paper pieplate at 100 yards 9 times out of 10 with that barrel and slug combo. I did take a forkhorn muley buck with that barrel, too.
