Guns and Game

About this book

"Guns and Game" is a comprehensive and timeless handbook on hunting with a gun, with chapters on everything from how to go about learning how to shoot, to breeding game, ethics, and beyond. This fantastic volume will appeal to those with a practical interest in rural sports of this ilk, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Shouting Or Fishing", "The Best Way Of Learning How To Shoot", "The Teaching Of Shooting", "A Modern Shooting School", "Gun-fitting", "The Shooter's Walk", "Style In Shooting", "Form In The Field", "Science And Shooting", "Technical Knowledge In Shooting", "Sporting Ammunition", "The Standard Cartridge", "The Best Cartridge", "Accidents To Guns", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality addition complete with the original text and artwork.
