Críticas
This is another of those fascinating compendium of bizarre stories that is almost impossible to put down. There is Lady Cardigan, who removed the shot from foreign guests' cartridges because she feared for the safety of other Gunsl the Afghans who machine-gunned rock doves in crates to show that they were civilised enough to appreciate driven shooting; the ghostly bunny of the Highlands...Yes, it's a great read and worthy addition to the bedside and bogside bookshelves. --BASC Shooting & Conservation
This anthology of shooting tales ranges from the quirky to outrageous. Whether it's an account of shooting the giant murrel fish with a British army rifle in 19th century India, or of Davy Peters turning up to a shoot day with six perfectly trained pigs as pickers-up, there is plenty to entertain. --Shooting Gazette
If you do like the kind of 'coffee table book' which can be opened at any page and dipped into for five minutes of gentle, stress-free reading, you will find much to entertain. - Sporting Gun
This is a remarkable collection of fascinating true-life tales from across the world. Author Tom Quinn takes us from the modern day through to legendary accounts of big game hunting in Africa and India in the 19th Century; Edwardian pheasant and grouse shooting stories of poachers; inexplicable incidents; ghostly happenings and one in a million shots - plus some delightfully dotty Royals. - Cotswold Life
The author is a lifelong enthusiast and has spent decades compiling the information for this book which, with its attractive binding and fascinating content, would make an extremely nice gift for the sportsman in your life. --Shropshire Star
