Michael 's The Man

Combination of magazine articles for lovers of fine shotguns.Basic information about guns, loads, and especially good section on shooting techniques. Jack O'Conner wrote a lot about rifles, but McIntosh's speciality is the sxs shotgun. However, he has taken over the position that O'Conner once held.You are what you read, and for the last several years I have been reading Michael's work in "Sporting Classics". I have been mainly a rifle guy for the past 25 years, but have now started back with shotguns. I blame Michael for this.Not really anything new in this book; just more McIntosh. But in his case, more is better. I especially like his lead-ins to the chapters. Classy!! Classy guy !!

Bedside Reader

I have never had a book, which I keep by my bed and read ever night, it keeps giving me more and more information. This is a wonderful book full of good common-sense gun knowledge.

Among the Finest Out There

I absolutely loved this book ! It interested me in the subject of fine shotguns and now I am hooked. This author conveys a great deal of informations about shotguns and shooting, but the reason I will re-read it time and again is that you can sense his deep passion for the subject. That enthusiasm is contagious. I am definitely ordering its sequel.

All the info - half the technica

Packed with information; easy to read, but not too dense. I've read Burrard (Modern Shotgun), and this book gets across much of the information (though not all) with much less technical material. Still, a few well placed charts etc. aid in understanding. So good, I have it on my shelf to read again in a couple months. As with everything by McIntosh or Hill, the writing is superb. Gene Hill will be sorely missed
