Sorry, but Harry G and Daryl are comparing two vastly different authors with vastly different philosophies on shotguns. Sorry again, if I missed their corrections, but five pages of dialogue is a bit much to review.

Sorry Murph, we were both quoting Chas. Askins from his various writings.

What Craig says is about my philosophy. Knowing the capabilities of your gun and ammunition go the longest way

Meh. Just shoot a 20. If you miss it isn’t the gun’s fault. Country boy reasoning.

Daryl, you were quoting two different Charles Askins'.

That’s kinda similar to my old skeet shooting reasoning . Shoot a K-32 or K-80 so if you miss atleast you looked good doing it

Bill is right. The Charles Askins who wrote Modern Shotguns and Loads (1929) was the father of the Charles Askins jr. that wrote The Shotgunners Book (1959). Charles Junior was really known for handguns and handgunning. The father was really known for shotgunning.

Thanks Jack for refreshing my aging memory. I knew that in the back of my mind but it was stuck in some cobwebs.

If I’m not mistaken Sr was the one that got the first of the Ithaca NID 10 Mags that later went to Keith and was sold again in the last four or five years .
