Shotgun-ology: A Handbook of Useful Shotgun Information

Maj. Charles Askins (father of Col. Charles Askins) had a well-deserved reputation as the foremost American authority on shotguns and bird shooting during his long career as a hunter and writer on sporting subjects. Shotgun-ology: A Handbook of Useful Shotgun Information, originally published in 1926, is a brief review of shotguns, ammunition, the fitting of guns, the effectiveness of various gauges and other information that a shooter needs to know -- or is just curious about. Most important, it is a timeless study of bird-shooting technique.
