A PGCA letter usually mentions these shooters by name and also mentions the price charged. Not many duck hunters ordered grade 3, 4, or 5 ten gauge hammer guns to go into the marsh.
I guess that would explain alot of the field grade 10 gauges I see . I would suppose that high grade guns were perhaps better kept as well .
