Got mine here in Wheeling, WV., yesterday, and read it on a rainy afternoon today. It hit me that I know most--but not all--of those who wrote articles, or were featured in the pictures.
I started off with Dean Romig's "My Perfect Woodcock Gun", and realized I have seen and held some of those.
On to Andy Cook's story of his hunt with his Parker and his daughter. Now Andy and I havent met, but we have exchanged pm's, and are both optometrists. Nice read Andy.
Shot quite a few rounds with Randy Roberts, Chuck Bishop, and Brett Hoops at Mike Koneski's last year. Perseverance pays off Randy.
Mills always comes thru, and I have met all in that group except Tom Wooden. Mills, what hardware store in Atlanta did that O frame VH 26" gun come from. My DHE O 16 came from Anderson Hardware in Atlanta, is also 26" cyl/mod and weighs 6 lbs on the nose--but my 1 frame VH 16 28" is definately a better pheasant gun.
When I think of big guns, Craig Larter comes to mind, and his treatise on the big 8 ga was well done.
Good job Mike and Sammy, hope to see all of you at Hausmann's.
