    Ed was a great sporting clays shot too !!!! ... I enjoy reading his paperback, " Ed Scherer on Sporting Clays", which he published back in March 1983. If you ever find a copy, buy it. Mine is personally autographed. He was a WW2 fighter pilot also. He was a real first class gentleman, and very approachable to talk anything shooting related.
