. Fundamentals of shooting . Becoming a better shot . Four methods of creating lead. Realizing potential . Finding a gun that fits . Maximizing efficiency with lead . Lead alternatives .Safety . Etiquette . Choosing and shooting side-by-sides . Choosing autoloaders and pumps . Barrels and related matters . Eye dominance and cross shooting . Dealing with recoil . Choosing chokes and loads for game shooting . Choosing chokes and loads for clay disciplines . Sub gauges . Practical ballistics . Shot strings . Training the eye . Footwork . Practice . How to set up your own range . Accessories . Cleaning your gun . And more

With helpful advice on the nuances of gun fit, discussions with experts like Mike Rose, dissections of subjects like buffering agents and antimony content, The Complete Guide to Wingshooting should be on the shelf of every serious gun lover.
