Shooting Types

Giles Catchpole's Shooting Types is one of the most popular and consistently amusing contributions to The Shooting Gazette, identifying (and poking fun at!) all the varied and often eccentric characters connected with the sport of shooting. Brilliantly illustrated with Bryn Parry's renowned cartoons, this book will be the perfect gift and purchase for all who enjoy their country pursuits.

The Author
During a shooting career spanning two centuries so far Giles Catchpole has probably committed every sin perpetrated in the shooting field bar the Big One. Notwithstanding which through diligent application, careful management and a good deal of spurious rumour mongering he has achieved a not inconsiderable reputation as one of the finest game Shots in England which, since he lives in England and shoots game, cannot reasonably be contradicted.

Reviews
'Often hilarious and almost always brilliantly observed by author and artist alike. Essential.' The Shooting Gazette
