Firstly, its content is right on the money for anyone getting into or involved in the sport of shooting. Secondly, it is written in non-technical terms that the layperson can understand. And thirdly, its compact size and robust binding – it fits neatly into the vehicle glove box or shooting bag. Well done to BASC and all those who were part of its production.Safety must be the paramount concern for shooters at all times, whether we are out in the field or maintaining and storing our guns… You will find a complete guide to safety in the latest edition of The BASC Handbook of Shooting. * Shooting and Conservation *This book is a must have for anyone new to the sport … It takes the reader on a journey from different types of shotguns and cartridges to preparing game for the table.
