Loved Corey Ford's "Back Forty" articles. Walter Winnan was famous pistol shooter and writer back in the day.
In the 1964 Outdoor Life issue Jack wrote and article titled "The Big Change In Guns". It was a whole separate center section in the magazine and contained about 15 pages. That issue had a charging Lion on the front.........I kept that issue and still have it.
When JC retired Jim Carmichael filled his spot.
