The early shooting sportsman issues are classic. I wish they would go back to those days.

Agreed, and that is one of the reasons I dropped my subscription to it.

Where would you get a gun SAAMI proofed? Since the US has no Proof House that statement seems profoundly stupid.

Sherman Bell is the obvious answer but the Damascus guns all passed so there is that. Not to mention any number of us are living breathing proof tests anyway

You still read stuff like "the debate rages on" which is ridiculous

I actually modeled my book after the early shooting sportsman with sections for upland birds, waterfowl and other.

All that said, I am still a subscriber and still a fan
