THE TEAM
THE TEAM
Chief cook and head bottle-washer for the Anglo American Shooting Society are Ken Duglan, a Brit, and Silvio Calabi, from the US. Between them, they have many years’ experience in organising and managing shoots, and also in easing newcomers into the unique culture of driven shooting. They stay with AASS members and guests from arrival to departure. In the field, they stand with the Guns, to maintain safety and also to help neophytes connect with fast, high-flying incoming birds.
KEN DUGLAN
As a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers, the British guild incorporated in 1637, for many years Ken owned and operated Atkin Grant & Lang Gunmakers and the Broomhills Shooting Ground, near St. Albans, in Hertfordshire. He is now part of Carl Russell & Co. Gunmakers, based at Hatfield House, north of London. Ken organises the shoots and curates the supporting events, tours and dinner parties.
SILVIO CALABI
As a journalist and author, Silvio has roamed the world on assignment for sporting magazines since the 1970s and has written extensively about fine guns and automobiles, shooting, hunting, fly-fishing and sporting travel. He has also led shooting trips across the UK, Italy, Spain and Southern Africa.
Silvio lives on the coast of Maine and in the mountains of Colorado and co-hosts AASS shoots with Ken.
