Revue de presse :

For the past 15 years, renowned pigeon shot Will Garfit has been delighting Shooting Gazette readers with tales of his time in the shooting field... his style reflects his humour, love of shooting and appreciation of those who make it work. Wonderfully illustrated by the author...An excellent book sure to evoke many memories. --Shooting Gazette

Ranging from pigeon shooting, through the management of his own small shoot, to the wider state of the countryside, Will's writing is imbued with his innate charm and humour. --Shooting Times

Delightfully delicate illustrations adorn the pages, illuminating charming tales that echo with country warmth and gentle wit. Reading it is a special treat, like having a crumpet in front of the fire with a favourite uncle. With the artist's sensibility and perception, this book is a glimpse at country life to be cherished and enjoyed at leisure. --The Field

Garfit is also an artist with an MA from the Royal Academy Schools (he has just had a 15-year retrospective at the Tryon Gallery in London). With illustrations for over 30 country sports books under his belt, Garfit is also a crack shot (in the 100 best ever, said July's The Field) and a rattling good writer. --Sporting Shooter

A very nicely put together collection... very entertaining. Will is a great shot and true sportsman, who has a very perceptive eye and mind. Moreover in addition to capturing it all in words, he is of course a big talent with a paintbrush, and his book is beautifully illustrated. --Fieldsports
