Sporting Gun
Let me start this review by saying I very much enjoyed this book for several reasons. Firstly, its content is right on the money for anyone getting into or involved in the sport of shooting. Secondly, it is written in non-technical terms that the layperson can understand. And thirdly, its compact size and robust binding – it fits neatly into the vehicle glove box or shooting bag. Well done to BASC and all those who were part of its production.
British Country Sports
An absolute must for anyone who owns a sporting shotgun. It is rare to find a book that covers so many important subjects so comprehensively but this book does so in an informative, easy-to-read way.
