Ninety percent of my shooting is with damascus and a lot of that is in skeet. My favorite skeet gun is a plain Birmingham boxlock (A. Allen, Glasgow) and it gets thousands of rounds each year. I just never give it any thought. Of course I shoot reasonable pressure nitro stuff. Ever so often, when I'm feeling brave, I load her up with black powder and let loose more atmospheric pollution than a coal fired power plant. Find a good one and join us on the dark side.

John McCain is my war hero.
