Favorite gun/shooting writer

Lots of good ones. But the 2 that I looked forward to the most each month because of the 'stories' were Elmer Keith and Dick Wright.

Elmer Keith, Jeff Cooper, and Bob Milek. These three because in the early days of my shooting career, I was primarily a hand gunner engaging in hunting and NRA Precision Pistol (bullseye) and Hunter's Pistol Silhouette competition.

The book, "Six Guns" by Keith is legendary. Milek stories on varmint hunting with an open sight S&W revolver got me started hunting groundhogs in western PA with a revolver. Some of the best hunts I ever had.

Gene Hill and just learned via Shooting Times that Bart Skelton has passed. I enjoyed both he and Skeeter's writing. For comedy, John Connor.....

Joe Rychetnik - author and columnist for Precision Shooting Magazine. His stories could make me forget about the here and now like no one else. RIP, Joe.

I like all of them so far and must mention Ross Seyfried who inspired me to build my first 22-250 AI I also enjoyed his story of Miss America and the mile shot back over 30 years ago

Anybody remember my good shooting buddy "Jim Weller" from
back in the early IPSC days ?? He free lanced most of the rags of
the day. I'd get a phone call saying a new rig was just delivered
with free ammo; be at the range in half an hour......

OConnors grand slam sheep stories in Outdoor Life always got my attention. He shot a .270 alot. That was my first rifle. Doug

Craig Boddington

Reading articles by the late great Skeeter Skelton got me started in handgun hunting and shooting 45 years ago, I Somewhat feel like I’m carrying on his Legacy every time I pull the trigger

Currently John Snow of Outdoor Life and Bob Hagel in the past.

I like the writers in Varmint hunter Mag and PS, prolly same as others named...I have a few Varmint Hunter Magazines and still have my little keychain with the prairie dog on it from 1988 or sometime in there

Jack O'Connor - I grew up reading him, he had the ability to make me feel like I was along on the trips with him. I especially enjoyed his sheep hunting stories.

Ross Seyfried and Terry Weiland - they both make me desire obscure rifles that I had no interest in prior to reading their articles.

Jack could make you feel like you were on the side of a mountain in Alaska or Yukon Territory squeezing off the shot with a model 70. Doug
