It explains the traditional game shooting styles of Charles Lancaster, Robert Churchill and Percy Stanbury, as well as offering a simple new method for shooting game birds that is quickly learnt and devastatingly effective. Straightforward advice is given on choke, cartridges and gun selection. It is a book that serious shooters will want to return to again and again.
