This scarce volume was first published in London 1904, and is
considered one of the foremost books on wildfowling and game
shooting of its time. The author was an experienced wildfowler and
game shot and an acknowledged expert on game guns, big bore guns
and their associated ammunition and loads, to which subject he has
devoted several detailed chapters. The book's 350 pages contain 16
comprehensive chapters on: - Game Guns. - Wild-Fowl Guns. - Gun
Testing. - Target Results. - Shotgun Patterns. - Ammunition. -
Powder Caps and Cartridge Cases. - Wadding and Shot. - Gundogs. -
Sportsman's Quarry. - Great Bustard, Capercaillie, Black Grouse,
Red Grouse, Ptarmigan, Pheasant, Partridge, Quail, Landrail,
Woodcock, Great Snipe, Common Snipe, Jack Snipe. - Hare, Rabbit,
Wild Pigeons and Rooks. - Wild-Fowl, Swans, Geese, Ducks, Plover
and Shore Birds. - Game Shooting. - Wildfowling with Gun and Punt.
- Vermin. Furred and Feathered. etc. READ COUNTRY BOOKS has now
re-published "the Gun Afield & Afloat" using the original text
and incorporating its 13 full page plates and numerous text
illustrations. This wonderful historical record of late 19th
century shooting is recommended for inclusion in the library of all
true sportsmen. Many of the earliest sporting books, particularly
those dating back to the 1800s, are now extremely scarce and very
expensive. READ COUNTRY BOOKS are reprinting these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions. These editions are
republished using the original text and artwork.
