Some of the best reading around is about Shotguns. Ruark's The Old Man and The Boy is an example. So are works by Havilah Babcock, Nash Buckingham, Corey Ford and Burton Spiller. These are classics and the writers passed on for decades.
Newer writers of worth include Datus Proper, Roger Pinckney XIII, and when John Geirach puts down his fly rod, him also. Steve Smith, Gene Hill and Joel Vance have also contributed good work to the genre.
For technia, nothing still beats Brister's 1975 masterwork, " Shotgunning, The Art and The Science".
Bruce Bowlen's book on wingshooting is worthy of mention.
So is Gil and Vicki Ash's book" If It Ain't Broke, Fix It".
On the "Serious" side, Ayoob and Awerback have good stuff. Someone more conversant with newer material on this is welcome to chime in.
Matter of fact, you all are.
What's YOUR picks?.....
