I know Doug and have shot with him in the UK. He knows a lot about shotguns, and I've found his book on Birmingham makers to be a valuable resource. A number of years ago, before I met him, he and a partner had a business importing and selling British doubles. I saw and handled a number of the guns they imported. Bought a couple. They were accurately described and worked out well for me.

He currently writes for Shooting Sportsman magazine.
