This easily readable and humorous book traces a personal view of the development of shooting in parts of the British Isles over the past fifty years. A fast-paced series of anecdotes and sporting outings that will educate and amuse shooting fans, and outline a new philosophy to ensure the sport is defendable and sustainable in the 21st Century.
It is also a record of the impact of changing land use on the sport, and British wildlife, championing the ‘Green Guns’ that individuals and groups must become, to ensure that field sports, as we know them, have a future.
Discrete stories in every chapter, which stand in their own right - are woven together with threads of philosophy, content and chronology, to produce something unique and engaging.
It is not a formulaic ‘How to guide’ shooting book but nuggets of tried and tested practical advice on techniques; safety, dog handling, successful approaches to game, woodpigeon and wildfowl shooting and all associated aspects of the sport. It includes technical information about guns or ammunition, where appropriate to support the narrative, and comments on the wider issues currently impacting on modern field sports.
Above all it should give all who follow the sport of shooting something to smile about!
