While passing through London enroute to the hallowed Holkham Estate--where driven shooting is said to have originated way back when--I visited the shop of Fredrick Beesley on Kings Road, established 1879, to get properly sorted. And Bradley Davis does just that. What's all the fuss about "bespoke" English shotguns, what makes English shotguns different, and why do they use two-shooters across the pond instead of semi-auto shotguns? Is the dress code all about pomp and circumstance--or is it something else? What's meant by "peg etiquette," what's the significance of "elevenses", and what other need-to-know customary traditions should I be aware before donning plus-fours like a Mississippi fish out of water? From the outside looking in, it's a whole 'nuther world. But one that resonates on many levels. Listen to find out why and let us know your thoughts.
