Excellent for a beginner but I am sure that even a seasoned pro will find good insights here. Pay special attention to the many knowledge "nuggets" that abound in this book. I started using a highlighter on these passages... they are that good!

I've been hunting dove for years, albeit sparingly each season. This little book definitely showed me the error of my shooting ways, and I'm going to have find some time to shoot some clay pigeons to work on this technique. Don't expect to read this book and think that you can bag a bunch of birds the next day. Bruce Bowlen does a masterful job of describing and explaining this English techique of wing-shooting. It makes perfect sense to use this system for hunting birds, but my body and brain are going to need some time to program it in to where I can shoot this way. For being an average shooter, I'm more confident that I'll be able to bring home quite a few more birds next season, once I get the hang of this technique.
Good advice on developing consistent technique November 19, 2004

In this useful little book, Bruce Bowlen lays out the English approach to wing-shooting. Many American shotgunners, he points out, are already comfortable with the rifle and thus try to transfer their rifle shooting skills to the shotgun. This is a mistake, he says. Shotgunning is a different animal altogether, relying on the shooter's natural sense of timing and ability to point. The English approach harnesses these instinctive abilities, combining them with solid, consistent technique to produce successful wing-shooting.
The book contains detailed guidelines on every aspect of shooting: stance, lead, follow-through, timing, etc. The chapter on gun fit was a bit tedious, taking up a third of the book. However, I'll probably revisit it next time I buy a shotgun. Overall, Bowlen's advice has been helpful to me and I'm sure I'll return to the book again.
