Would you pay the price of two boxes of shotgun shells for a book that could improve your results by 10% or more? Dove Hunting and Shotgunning is a "how to" book that includes sections on shotgun types, gauges, chokes, new gun purchasing, ammunition, clay target shooting, safety, and field techniques. It distills 50 years of dove hunting and shotgunning experience into a compact book that omits many details that are easily researched on line. The special needs of left handers, smaller statured shooters, and female shooters are covered. The opening chapter highlights the author's mistakes over the years and could alone be worth much more than the price of the book. The many real life anecdotes are entertaining and informative. The advice and recommendations are practical and field tested. There is a wealth of information for the beginner, as well as tips that will help the most seasoned shooter.
