"Still shot"John? Let me guess: (1) using a shotgun to shoot a stationary target (rules out the clays games, but not turkey hunting. (2) Busting the "white lightin' boys at work by using a shotgun (buckshot?) to smash up their product in the great glass Mason jars that are a legend down in Deep Dixie..
Foisting- wow, don't see that word used often in today's parlance, now do we. I read Bruce Batha first, then Tom Roster next in every issue of SSM-- I find it hard to believe that anyone who writes a steady column for the most expensive bi-monthly shotgunning publication extant could be anything less that qualified in his field of expertise- Note- I left out DGJ as it is a quarterly publication- equally prestigious in the mileu of top shelf shotguns and gunning, IMO.
We are saddled with steel shot for migratory fowl, mainly due to some numbnutted idiots in CA-- the most anti-gun and anti-hunting State in the entire 50-- RWTF

I pay little to no attention to Tom Rosters drivel. Im still mad at him for foisting still shot on us. JR Steel. Steel shot. He was by far not the only useful idiot in that endeavor. The MN DNR sought public comment when they decided that steel and/or non toxic shot was inevitable , their term, and crapped their collective pants when the public and a few elected officials who made the meeting on a Thursday evening, at 5:00PM, in St. Paul, a huge pain in the ass for working folks to make it to, showed up and reminded them the legislature makes decisions like that, NOT them. It has been quiet since, but, I am positive it is never far from their minds. Best, Ted

First faux pas Ive done in awhile, but still, there it is... JR No big deal John. To err is human. Not nearly as bad as several guys we have right here who carry and support the anti-lead ammunition message and movement. An even larger number here openly or secretly support the anti-gun and anti-hunting politicians who push for lead ammunition bans. Sometimes, the most dangerous threat is the guy who pretends to be on your side as he stabs you in the back. Often, they are the ones who cry loudest about any attempt to expose them or segregate them.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

I know the fox trot dance moves, but the Faux Pas- like a Pas De Deux , not so much. I knew you meant steel shot, JR- I was just pulling your chain--RWT

'Round here a "still shot" used to be a sample tastin' of freshly run, and cooled, white likker, 'shine ........... to test the run. Also can reference a faux pas on the dove field when somebody gets too excited, shoots at a low bird, and peppers another gun. Shooter cries, "I'm sorry, I didn't see you!", to which the shot man replies "Yeah, but I'm "still shot"!. Different from a "shot still", which is what you found when you went back to your still and found it shot full of holes by the sheriff's department. SRH

faux pas noun \ ˈfō-ˌp , fō-ˈp\ plural faux pas\ ˈfō-​ˌp(z) , fō-​ˈp(z) \ Definition of faux pas : a significant or embarrassing error or mistake : BLUNDER Long, hot soaks in winter are a classic faux pas, since exposure to extreme heat after having been in the cold can cause small visible blood vessels to appear at the skin's surface. Elle especially : a socially awkward or improper act or remark Audiences must be supportive and enthusiasticlots of clapping, no heckling. (And talking on cellphones during the performance is a huge faux pas). Claudine Ise when I sauntered into the main dining room for my first breakfast, I realized I was the only person showing his legs. Careless faux pas, or was I being overly sensitive to the local culture? David Swanson Campaigning last year seemed to convince her that she can venture out alone without making costly faux pas. Time Magazine It was not until I'd covered about fifty kilometers that I committed my most terrible social faux pas yet: I overtook another cyclist. Polly Evans

I wish I could, but I read that in the most recent printed magazine version. I have no idea how to do that (post a link) and I dont have a subscription to the computerized format of SSM anyway. Im 60 years old and not very literate with a computer, and I really dont want to learn how to become more computer literate either. Sorry, but maybe someone here will post the thing.

I'd like to read it, too, but having dropped my subscription last year I doubt that opportunity will become available. The magazine became so embued with preppie advertisements I finally said "Enough". It had gotten to the point that Roster's articles were about the only thing in there I read, and didn't agree with much of that.
