Shooting - Why we miss [antikvár]

ForewordMore people are shooting now than ever before. The sport, which used to be a privileged one, provides opportunities now for every keen shot. Much of the credit belongs to the Wild-fowlers' Association, who have done so much for the organisation of the sport and for the conservation of game.In the economic winds of the present time, which are likely to persist into the foreseeable future, WAGBI is the standard bearer of budget shooting. The shooting clubs, the do-it-yourself game-rearing affiliations, the clay pigeon associations, now provide the best entry into a sport which, for the individual, is becoming prohibitively expensive.In the future, the probability is that more shooting will be rough-shooting. There will be more shooting over dogs, more shooting over farmers' land than over great manors and estates. The harvest of game will be harder to come by.But, although the conditions of the sport are changing, the rules of straight shooting remain the same.It is more than ever important to know why you miss.
