I left the ladies to shop in the AGA store and walked the 1 block down the same street to John Dickson and Son to window shop guns and gear. I bought a Dickson oil bottle for my buddy who has a Dickson round action, but no accessories.
I don't need photos of the AGA purchasers. I see the results of the purchases when washing dishes. (She cooks, I clean, we stay happy)

Unheard of good shooting and not thought possible of Americans by our British elite. Reckoned to be one of the six remarkable scores of the century by G.L. Carlisle in his book "Grouse and Gun".

Nice shootin' indeed. +1 for the Very Jealous category.

Not to hijack the thread, but I happen to be having breakfast across from one of the guys that shot as part of that epic 1009 grouse shoot. I've even included a snapshot of the writeup in Shooting Times. I hope he shoots as well on American grouse today. smirk

I've shot ZZ birds with Cyril Adams. He was #2 in the world in live pigeons somewhere in the late 60's or early 70's and owned Atkins, Grant, & Lang for 20 yrs. Wonderful shot and a great person. that sort of shoot doesn't surprise me at all. bob Braden was also a great shot.
