Product Description

Synopsis
Designed for newcomers to sporting shotgun shooting, this Handbook of Shooting has much to offer more experienced shots, too. It covers shotgun safety, the basic rules of gun handling in the field, while travelling and at home; it examines the parts of the shotgun and their respective functions in some detail, as well as cartridges, and discusses the effective ranges of both in relation to particular quarry; it outlines the law as it relates to shooting, possession of guns, the game seasons, the schedules of protected birds, landownership and sporting rights; it discusses specific aspects of the sport - roughshooting, game shooting and wildfowling. It also includes chapters on behaviour in the field, the role of gundogs, the part played by gamekeepers in habitat and game management; it has a comprehensive section on quarry species and their identification illustrated in full colour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, 15 Feb 2004
By Michael (Scotland) - See all my reviews
I admit this book does have quite dated pictures but it is very informative book, including everything a new comer to shooting needs to know. I would reccomend this book to anyone because there is so much to learn from it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but could do better, 10 Aug 2003
By A Customer
As a beginner, I was disappointed that the guide didn't give a little more advice on how to improve one's shot.

Seemed a bit "1970's" in style - for example the photo's are a little dated!

However the handbook is very readable and easy to follow - well worth the money.
