THE SHOT GUN AND ITS USES By "East Sussex" This fascinating but little-known book was first published in London in 1914. The author was a prolific contributor to the sporting press of that time and was an acknowledged expert on guns and shooting. Read Country Books have now republished it using the original text and illustrations. 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. The original fascinating adverts for guns, cartridges, shooting grounds, equipment etc, have also been retained for historical interest. This early shooting book will prove to be a valuable asset in increasing the knowledge and prowess of all "gun-buffs" and shooting men. The book is bound in quality pictorial soft covers. CHAPTERS: THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MODERN SHOTGUN ON CHOOSING A GUN PRACTISE GROUSE SHOOTING PARTRIDGE SHOOTING PHEASANT SHOOTING THE WOODCOCK THE SNIPE WILDFOWLING GROUND GAME VARIOUS SHOOTING POWDER AND SHOT ON THE CARE OF GUNS SAFETY AND ETIQUETTE
