Shooting with Game and Gun Room Notes

by "Blagdon"


Published by Cogswell And Harrison in 1900. Hardcover; Illustrated by Thorburn, Stannard et. al. Cover illustration by C. E. Brock.

1st Edition; 8vo, 8.5 x 5.5 x 0.5", 122 pp Reddish-brown boards are bumped and slightly stained; torn area to spine and front board almost detached pages themselves are in very good condition, text clean and unmarked with many attractive illustrations and photographs. W H Smith embossed stamp on front end-paper.

Chapters on:
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. As is to be expected with a famous gun maker's publication, there is much technical advise and information, with many of the illustrations being of Cogswell and Harrison products. Also included are several 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.
