Customer Reviews

A great book which every pigeon shooter should possess
If you've never shot pigeons before, and are looking for some pointers on how to get started then read this before anything else. Also, if you've been shooting for years I would still recommend reading this book as there are lots of ideas that many of us have never heard before which have been very successful in the field. It's very well written and a true joy to read.

Must have reference book
Thsi book is a must for all pigeon shooters.
It talks you through your prey, locations, hide building, leagalities etc.
A book for novice and pro alike.

Venerable but bang on
This is a very helpful book about a very challenging subject. I am lucky enough to belong to a sociable Club and have the benefit of lots of advice as a beginner. This book provides the wealth of experience and the framework that allows me to put the advice into order and improve my pigeon shooting by miles.
