No longer the preserve of the country elite, the growth of commercial shoots and the fact that even the grandest of estates now let out "days" means that shooting is available to all those who enjoy the sport. Whether you are an experienced shot who wants to try out a different terrain, a relative newcomer who is as interested in the local pubs and hotels as the shoot itself, or an office manager who wants a Christmas party with a difference, this book has all the information you need. Divided into separate sections for England, Scotland and Wales, the book includes over 170 shoots; covers all types of shooting - partridge, pheasant, grouse, woodcock/snipe, pigeon, wildfowling and stalking; includes a section on simulated shooting; includes a section on walked-up/rough shooting; and features essays by leading experts on the changing face of shooting.

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
