From 4-, 6-, and 8-bores to punt guns, fine English doubles and black powder, he explains why these guns were built, how they were used--some pretty amazing shooting feats even by modern-day standards--what they taught us about ballistics, how the "gauge" metric was originally determined, and how yesteryear fowling firearms shaped today's duck hunting. In hearing some of these stories, was reminded why we may oftentimes feels sentimental towards some of those killing sticks in our closets whether they're "collectible" or not.  Boom!
