Van Campen Heilner, famous waterfowl author, now long-deceased, owned a .410 SKEET-ER and his name appears on the same page, I think 1 line above the one I owned, in the A&F records of IJ SKEET-ERs that Bob Beach supplied to me in his wonderfully extensive research package. I wonder if he hunted dovekies, pied-billed greebes and sandpipers with it....
