When genius meets genius the outcome is perfection. And the two men behind this book fall into that category, as regular Shooting Gazette readers will be well aware. Giles Catchpole has a unique understanding of the different characters involved in shooting, and with his mischievous sense of humour and understanding of the language, his words give pleasure enough in themselves. However, when united with Bryn Parry's simply superb cartoons, the combination is unstoppable... Every shooting household should have a copy of this book — it is pure fun and you might just recognise yourself and your friends in some of the stereotypes.
