 Good advice on developing consistent technique November 19, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
Concise and Informative February 25, 2003

Great practical advice for advanced and beginning shooters. It's geared more toward the bird hunter than the clay shooter, however it has some great information for clay shhooters as well.

Having trouble with your golf swing? Go find the pro at your local golf course. Having trouble with your shooting? This book may help. It's a great little guide book.
Good Measure and Fit Information October 22, 2000

This is a pretty good book that actually spends more time covering fit of a gun than any other single subject. The actual shooting process is described in a unique but very effective concept. Any wingshooter could pick up a pointer or two from this brief guide.
Classic Game Shooting Techniques August 9, 1999
25 out of 26 found this review helpful
Tremendous read and a must for all field shotgunners! Bruce Bowlen is clear in his writing style and articulate in instructional shooting technique.Bowlen not only illustrates proper shooting technique but also includes other equally important topics such as gun fit, safety, and eye-dominance. Probably the most fascinating area to me was the history behind why Americans have had a hard time adapting the classic English technique. If you enjoy bird hunting, you would be well-served to invest the time to devour the contents of this book. I can attest to improvement that it has made in my success and have shared it with all my friends.
