There are good articles about California small bore duck hunting in a magazine called Western Field if you can locate them.
There's also a story in one of the Hazelton books about shooting at a small bore only club. Quite a few guys have made noise about writing articles on this but I've never seen one come out. California isn't my area of interest but it would be fun research to do. Destry

The use of small bore long-barrel doubles at the California duck clubs was promoted by Edwin Hedderly, of Western Field magazine. Edwin ran a lengthy series beginning in September 1910 on the smallbore shotgun and he received some fabulous guns from Parker Brothers in exchange for ads in Western Field. April 4, 1911, he ordered a 32-inch 28-gauge full pistol grip DHE with a Silvers rubber butt, Lyman sights, full comb, no safety, 1 1/2 x 2 x 15 1/2 and 3" pitch, engrave "Wildfowl Mfg Expressly for E.L. Hedderly." On April 26, 1912, he ordered a 20-gauge 32-inch A1-Special, with even more detailed specifications. Then on May 14, 1912, he ordered a 32-inch 16-gauge A1-Special to pretty much match the 20-gauge. Good reading c. 1914 “The Case of the Small Bore Shotgun” by Edward C. Crossman http://www.la84foundation.org/Sports...utLXIII04u.pdf

Unfortunately the Google supply of digital Western Field magazines ends just before Edwin Hedderly became editor and wrote his long series on smallbore Duck guns.

For some reason I'm thinking that Tom Weynand is a member of the forum? If I'm right, he's got copies of all the articles.

It would be nice if he were to publish these articles, if he has permission. Kevin McCormack has put together a collection of information on Hedderly's articles and indicated an intent to publish. I found a picture of Hedderly holding his long barrel 16 gauge Parker, but no one, to this date, has indicated an interest to publish his work on long barrel small gauge guns.

I gave Kevin what I had, and I don't seem to even have copies of what I gave him!! If Parker Pages needs material, those Hedderly articles could fill several issues!
