Those are some wonderful old pictures, but every time I look at some of the old sporting art I can't help but notice the poor muzzle control..... many of those shotgunners of old had pictures taken with the muzzles pointing at their heads while others like the guy on the second last picture front row on the grass with the old double shoved in his buddy's stomach.
I wonder how many of those guns were actually loaded!
