Abstract:
For shotgun shooters competing in contests or hunting, accuracy can depend on how well the gun is fitted to the shooter. Since shotgun stocks are made for the \"average\" shooter, a visit to a professional gunfitter may be necessary to insure a good fit.

Abstract:
The side-by-side barreled shotgun is traditionally associated with wing shooting. This gun has been around since the late 18th-century, and the modern over-and-under barreled gun was developed about a hundred years later. American gun makers now sell more over-and-under guns, and Wilson compares the two, seeking to answer the question, when accuracy is at issue, which is the better gun?

Abstract:
The side-by-side barreled shotgun was the gun of choice for most bird hunters in the 19th and early 20th centuries. While the over-and-under barreled shotgun became more popular in the 20th century, the side-by-side continued to hold a special place among wing shooters. Wilson feels this continued use is caused by a combination of nostalgia, the beauty feel of the gun, and a certain grace this gun possesses that no other gun can match. He discusses the Vintagers, also known as the Order of Edwardian Gunners, which formed in 1994. This group not only appreciates the double-barreled gun, but many members like to dress in clothing of the Edwardian era (1895-1914), when they are in the field.

Gaddis discusses some manufactures, including Parker, L.C. Smith, Fox, Lefever, and Ithaca, who set the standards of quality.
