Synopsis
From the most trusted brand in outdoor sports, Field & Stream, this book brings a wealth of knowledge to the subject of hunting and target shooting Canadian style. With expert information on what types of guns are legal to own in Canada, and national gun laws, as well as how to hunt the wealth of game available above the 49th Parallel, this book is a Canadian hunter’s dream come true. The lead authors are popular F&S bloggers and the hosts of the Gun Nuts show on the Outdoor Channel (sponsored by Smith & Wesson), and in this comprehensive yet conversational book they share insider hints, amazing stories, and hands-on guidance for the first-time gun owner and the seasoned veteran alike. Additional Canadian content by Brad Fenson, who helped create the Ultimate Survival Manual Canadian Edition, and Total Fishing Manual Canadian Edition.
When it comes to rifles and shotguns, Field & Stream’s Dave Petzal and Phil Bourjaily are the real deal. They love them, study them, collect them, and they’re not afraid to tell you what they think about them—in accessible, sometimes rather colorful, language. Charismatic and always a little offbeat, they’re the guys you’d want with you as you test-fired rifles, stalked a deer, or learned to shoot geese on the wing. Brad Fenson knows Canadian gun laws and big and small game inside out, and is the perfect guide to everything you need to know about shooting in Canada.
This book covers all the basics: Understanding your gun options, choosing the right gun for every situation, all about ammo, improving your shooting and hunting performance, and much, much more. Lock and load! This is the ultimate hunting and range-shooting reference the market has been waiting for.
