Kudos to Craig Larter for his excellent articles on 8 ga. shotguns in the latest edition of Parker Pages. I've been familiar with punt guns "forever", but I don't think I've ever seen a picture of a "battery gun" for duck hunting. Great information and great commentary. Jeff

Good job Craig,

Jeff,
For some good reads on the use of the big guns around the Chesapeake Bay try some of the books by C. John Sullivan, Jr. I have enjoyed the lengthy titled
Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Decoys & Long Guns; Tales of Carroll's Island Ducking Club and also
Chesapeake Ducking Guns - Baltimore Made -.

It was the first article I read in this issue, Craig. You made some important points that had to have been based on extensive research. Thanks for that.
