fenboy Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 If you are a novice "Will's pigeon shooting" by Will Garfitt is worth a read though I found it to be a little bit "on how to suck eggs" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) There is a good book coming out by a chap known by the name of PC who wears a mask of Zorro to hide his identity and also to disguise himself just in case his wife looks on the forum and sees that he has been shooting when he said he was going to work. I have seen a proof of this book which tells of how observation, fieldcraft, knowledge of the area etc all form part of a succesful foray into the field. There are photographs to back up the stories on a weekly basis. There are useful contributions from simon6ppc, motty, pickerup, aga man, remmyman, fenboy and bunnage (not) and less than useful hints and tips from JDog. Very good value at £99: 99 I would say.
