The books 232 pages are a veritable mine of information on the development, manufacturing, choice, and use of, the English shotgun and its associated cartridges and loads. Much practical adviCe is also offered on shooting grouse, pheasant, partridge, woodcock and wildfowl etc, with a multitude of tips on dealing with high birds, "coasters," wind direction and weather, "flapper-shooting," etc. Fourteen comprehensive chapters deal effectively with each of these subjects and are fully illustrated with vintage black and white photos and illustrations.
