Almost half a million people in Britain enjoy shooting game or other live quarry - and this book is aimed straight and true at the real enthusiast. Game shots, wildfowlers, decoyers, stalkers and rough shooters alike will find a wealth of 'entries' in The Game Book to fire their imagination and enhance their knowledge of their favourite sport. Frederick Forsyth reveals why he prefers pigeon decoying, Max Hastings sings the praises of pheasant shooting, Jonathan Young of The Field puzzles over the trickiest shots imaginable, Will Garfit ends up in the hot seat on a partridge drive and Robin Scott of Sporting Gun relives his country past on a very special family shoot. More than sixty contributors from shooting writers from all the leading shooting magazines to experts share their experiences from countless forays - from shooting grouse on the moors, ptarmigan on the tops, snipe in Ireland, woodcock in Norfolk and pinkfeet in Scotland to stalking red deer, fallow and row wherever they roam. Not since BB's classic, The Shooting Man's Bedside Book has there been a book that shooters will want to keep close to hand, a book they can dip into again and again for advice and inspiration, for reminders of past pleasure and a foretaste of those still to come.
