New old stock. First printing. Rather than focusing on trophies or hunting stories, Craig Boddington concentrates on the skills needed to make clean, ethical shots in the field. He explains rifle and calibre selection, sighting systems, shooting positions, bullet performance, range estimation, and how to cope with real hunting conditions such as steep angles, moving game, awkward rests, and pressure. Written by one of America's most respected hunting writers, the book combines practical instruction with examples from the author's extensive hunting experience, helping hunters improve both their accuracy and confidence.

About this title

Synopsis

Demonstrates basic shooting positions, tells how to select the appropriate rifle and ammunition, and discusses scopes, stock fit, and safety precautions

From the Publisher

The ultimate success of any hunt rides on the ability of the hunter to make the shot when the time comes. In this highly illustrated book, veteran hunter Boddington gets down to the essentials of what it takes to become a good field shot. Although Boddington is the first to admit he's missed some shots, he doesn't miss anywhere near as many as he used to. And now when he misses, he usually knows why. Boddington shares his vast hunting and shooting experience in an informative and entertaining way, covering everything necessary-shooting techniques, cartridges, rifles, bullet performance-to make you a better marksman and a more successful hunter.
