Owen, The team of guns changed each day. Driven Red grouse is expensive, and, with the collapse of the stocks this year, many people had their days canceled.
In terms of what sort of interesting guns were used, I photographed a Purdey SxS, a trio of FAMAR's OU's, a pair of Longthorne Hesketh OU's, Mackay-Brown, Dickson, AyA #1's, and my traveling guns, the Miroku's.
Most were 12's. 32 gram English 5's. the chosen load for most.
I, shot Eley Zenith Copper plated 28 gram 5's w/ fibre wads.
But the thing most fascinating to me about the "Guns", is that they were legitimate, devoted, wingshots. Wigshooting plays an important role in all of their lives. It was a treat to be surrounded by kindred spirits.
I suppose to a degree, the economic bar is high enough to ensure this to some extent.
