I shot my first box birds with it the year I bought it, never should have let it go.
When we got the 12 and 20 I think I was about 14 so that would have been about 1975 and at the time I think the writer was in his 30's or 40's . So I doubt if he was Roger Barlow , I think in 1975 Barlow would have already been in his mid to late 50's . But I could be wrong as it was almost 40 yers ago .

My father talked with the guy on the phone a couple times and we had his contact info somewhere and that seems to have vanished .
