When thinking who i like (opinion) i have to ask, am i looking for factual correctness, ease of reading, or the effect the writer had on me.

Jack O'Connor had the greatest impact and influence on me as a kid (10-18)

As a young shooter, Bob Brister's Art and Science of Shotguning really impacted my reloading and shooting.

As an adult Hadoke has been great, but I must admit there have been many within the pages of Doublegun Journal

Not gun writers but upland bird writers Guy De la Valdene, ted Lundrigen, and many others. I spent the last 10 minutes looking at my shelves and I enjoy so very many good writers, guns, birds, and Dogs, I truly cannot decide.
