Randy Robert's 34" CHE, DGJ Article

[Craig Larter]

Very nice Randy I really enjoyed your article in the winter DGJ. As an owner of 5 CH's it was a real Christmas present for me. Well done thanks Craig

What gauge is his 34 incher ? I assume 10 ?

It's actually a 12. It is a story of a one-armed trapshooter who set a world record straight run back in the day.

Thanks John. In the acknowledgments I mentioned your name as well as that of our esteemed researcher Mr. Bishop, however the acknowledgements were omitted from the article for whatever reason. I have no control over that. I cannot begin to imagine the flurry of activity that Daniel must encounter when his publication goes to press so it is entirely understandable, at least from my perspective.

Finally got my copy of the DGJ. Randy, your article was fascinating. Regarding the 34 inch barrels: is the gun weight forward in its balance? Just wondering if the possible forward weight would help someone that had no hand to "point" and direct the gun actively follow-through. In any event, great piece on an interesting gun and original owner.

It's a 12 ga.

I got my DGJ and have read Randy’s article; a very enjoyable read.

I like it when noteworthy gun and biography come together. The photos were super, too.

As with “Mingo”, I once worked in an office with a colleague who had an arm that ended in a stump at the elbow. The man knew that I had gone to Nova Scotia Deer hunting and he volunteered to me that he had a family-owned 30-ought-six caliber rifle, and enjoyed shooting it.

Also, as with “Mingo”, no one in the office seemed to know the reason for the loss of limb. Nor, did anyone to my knowledge ever inquire. Reticence on the topic just seemed to accord with the man’s blithe and routine triumph over the anatomical deficit.

Well written article. I particularly liked you description of where the CH fell in regards to the DH and BH for those that weren't familiar. Well done.
