Originally published in 1900. PREFACE: Shooting is always put down as a very expensive form of sport and it is true that if it is worth anything, it cannot be obtained for nothing, but this rule is universally true. A certain amount of money must of course be spent on a shoot, but time and trouble may take the place of hard cash to some extent.... This early works is a fascinating read with much of the information still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
