The show was first rate and that type of shoot is a dream for many of us on this side of the pond--even us dedicated "rough" shooters who have a hard time imagining hunting without a dog leading the way.

I read somewhere (maybe even in SSM) that in many of the shoots in England and on the Continent the O/U is gaining in popularity and at some shoots even predominates among the English shooters. Of course Mr. Batha is using an O/U.

It's interesting that to some degree the English game gun configuration (my preference) is gaining in popularity in the states and perhaps losing a little ground in Britain.

Any persective on this from Mr. Batha or our some of our other friends accross the pond?
