Shooting With Game and Gun Room Notes By Blagdon Originally published in
1900 by the English gun maker "Cogswell and Harrison Ltd." This book is
now very scarce and expensive in its first edition. READ COUNTRY BOOKS
have now republished it using the original text and illustrations. One
hundred and forty four pages contain nine detailed chapters: How to
Shoot. - Gun Fitting. - Modern Guns. - Ammunition. - Grouse Shooting. -
Partridge Shooting. - Pheasant Shooting. - Live Pigeon Trap Shooting. -
Inanimate Bird Shooting. The contents are extensively illustrated with
full page and text drawings and photos. A number of the drawings are by
Archibald Thorburn, G. E. Lodge and Henry Stannard. As is to be expected
with a famous gun makers publication, there is much technical advise and
information, with many of the illustrations being of Cogswell and
Harrison products. Also included are fifteen pages of vintage
advertisements for guns and shooting equipment. This is a fascinating
read for any shooting enthusiast or historian, with much of the
information remaining useful and practical today. The chapters on live
and clay pigeon shooting are especially informative. Many of the
earliest sporting books, particularly those dating back to the 1800s,
are now extremely scarce and very expensive. READ COUNTRY BOOKS are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern
editions, using the original text and artwork.
