Modern Game Shooting is the product of a hfe-time of experience by a recognized expert in the sport who has, for many years, been shooting correspondent of The Field. This book is as much for the newcomer to shooting as it is for the man who raises several thousand birds for the shooting field. It covers all aspects of the sport comprehensively, from the planting or adapting of natural game cover to the eventual preparation of a game bird for the table, from the ballistics of the modern game gun to artificial brooders.

Modern Game Shooting is the product of a hfe-time of experience by a recognized expert in the sport who has, for many years, been shooting correspondent of The Field. This book is as much for the newcomer to shooting as it is for the man who raises several thousand birds for the shooting field. It covers all aspects of the sport comprehensively, from the planting or adapting of natural game cover to the eventual preparation of a game bird for the table, from the ballistics of the modern game gun to artificial brooders.
However, it is to the small landowner who wishes to make the best use of his land, either for sport for himself, or with a view to estabhshing a shooting syndicate, that this book will most appeal. Roddie Willett's ardent support of the wild, rather than the raised, bird and his prescient forecast of the shooting scene in the years ahead is certainly one of the most valuable aspects of a book which will undoubtedly become the standard work on the subject in the acknowledged tradition of the Lonsdale Library.
Roderick Eraser Willett was born in 1922 and educated at Uppingham School. During the latter half of the Second World War he served with the Essex Yeomanry, and subsequently as a regular officer with The Black Watch until retiring to farm in 1959. At present he lives in Petworth, Sussex, and as well as writing about the sport, he also works as a ballistic and country sports consultant. Vissza
