Shooting
The Xero S1 screen displays the result after each shot.
More on Garmin’s Xero S1
On the surface, it’s every shotgunner’s dream: A little machine that sits in front of…
Shotgun patterns, either on paper or steel patterning plates, are notoriously unphotogenic, and publishers often fall back on illustrations, such as this one in Gough Thomas’s Gun Book (1970). They are misleading, since they show no pellets outside the circle—and there are many!
30 Inches, 40 Yards
Patterning a shotgun is not rocket science. It’s not even grade nine algebra. It’s more…
Gorgeous, no? Boss & Co. #6205, 20 gauge, made around 1915, is a self-opening over/under. It may be one of a kind. Or, it may not. Photos courtesy Rock Island Auction Company
Never Say Never. Never!

Double rifles of the quality of this W.J. Jeffery, built between 1929 and 1939, do not come along every day. Just seeing and handling such a rifle is a privilege.
The Fate of the Jeffery
A few of these missives ago, I alerted readers to the presence at the Rock…

Meopta 8x56 MeoPro HD Plus. At roughly $800, this Czech-made glass is inexpensive by today’s standards, yet delivers performance that far out-classes what we considered the best of the best a few years ago.
Crystal Clarity
It seems like the Dark Ages now—that long-ago period when you could name the good…
Two Chapuis guns, a 20-gauge side-by-side Chasseur (top) and the 28-gauge Faisan Classic O/U. Two nice guns that could be great guns, with a little TLC.
A Pheasant Surprise
Leave us start with a confession: I was fully prepared to dislike the Chapuis 28-gauge…
Oklahoma City gun collector and double-rifle expert Johnny McCharen. He owned the W.J. Jeffery, and considered it the finest double he’d ever seen.
The Finest Double Rifle
Rock Island’s spring premier auction is coming up this month (May 19-21, 2023) and there…
Both plugs and muffs are required for full protection shooting rifles indoors, but for shotguns muffs are rather inconvenient. The small plugs work well in conjuction with muffs, but for plugs alone, the large soft rubber plugs (right) can block out almost all noise. When shooting a shotgun, this helps considerably.
One More Admission
The subject of flinching is delicate, to say the least. There are all sorts of…
The Winchester Model 12 is an object almost of worship among a certain slice of American shotgunners, and it deserves the respect it gets. Wieland doesn’t shoot them particularly well, but that does not make him admire them any the less.
Shotgun Meanderings
In the course of searching for some answers about some arcane aspect of shotguns, I…
Shooter on the 25 yard line. The ZZ has been released from the trap with the white flap down—a visual signal that occurs simultaneously with the launch of the bird—and its orange wings are visible against the dark green trees.
Helice, a.k.a., ZZ Birds
Most shooters are aware that trap as we know it today grew out of the…
Stevens-Pope in three volumes, by Warren Greatbatch and Tom Rowe. The books are massive, the photography wonderful, and the information enough to satisfy the most voracious lover of single-shot rifles.
Big Books. Big Big Books.
Some years ago, at a cocktail party connected with one of the big gun shows,…
