The more I read and study those old shotgun gurus, the more amazed I am by what they knew. They were masters of the shotgun choke.
By chance, I ended up with Major Charles Askins Senior's personal Browning Superposed, built to his specifications for hunting desert quail. I've since acquired some of his books and am very impressed by his depth of knowledge and fine writing style. He was one of the top shotgun writers in his day, in fact, was the highest paid gunwriter of that era.
The SGW link previously posted gives the story. Pretty neat bit of history.
