"This practical and comprehensive manual by the authors of Shotgun Marksmanship and Clay Pigeon Marksmanship has long been recognised through successive reprints as a standard textbook by all concerned with the sport of shooting, from beginners to instructors. In this new edition it is thoroughly revised and updated, with additional text and illustrations. Besides the basic requirements for accurate shooting, this book covers a wide variety of allied subjects: gun characteristics, competition, gamekeepers, rough shooting, wild fowling, dog training and field trials, syndicates, decoys, clothing, costs of a shoot, etiquette, safety and the law. The authors not only offer a distillation of their great experience and practical wisdom, but draw upon an unrivalled fund of first-hand anecdotes, each of which tellingly points a lesson."
