Summary

Probably the most traditional of all sports, game shooting has evolved to suit the times. It has an enduring popularity among those who remember the old ways and also appeals to those who have shaped a fresh approach to the sport, in keeping with modern methods of farming and land management. This book contains advice on the choice of gun cartridge, the fundamental techniques of shooting, a survey of the different species of game from pheasant and partridge to pigeon to plover, safety in the field, and tips on clothing and shooting accessories.
