He loved his 21's and 16ga but some of his balistic thoughts were out there. Of course Jack O did the same with his pet 270

Actually "Major" Charles Askins, was really "Colonel" Charles Askins. I as a youngster, read much of the Colonel, until one day I realized he was giving HIS opinions on much that was already common knowledge, and was getting paid for it.

Dee, why are you thankful you missed him? I liked him better than his son.  ;)
