Book excerpt: EDITOR'S PREFACE. The literature pertaining to field sports is represented by many volumes, but, singular to state, there is no work devoted to the great and constantly increasing sport of pigeon shooting. As editor of a sportsman's journal, the writer some time ago perceived the dearth of literature on this subject, and for a long time sought to secure the service of one who could, from practical experience, give the much called for information. This was a difficult task, for those who had made an intelligent study of pigeon shooting were very few, and most of those had confined their practice to a limited field. When Capt. A. W. Money came to America to engage in a business here which was closely connected with the field and trap shooting, the writer learned of his remarkable experience as a pigeon shooter, both -in Europe and America, and it seemed that no one was so well qualified to write upon the subject of pigeon shooting as Capt. Money. It required considerable persuasion to induce this veteran to wield his pen, but he finally consented, and a series of papers were published in the columns of Shooting and Fishing. These papers met with a flattering reception; veteran pigeon shooters were astonished at their thoroughness and the amount of practical information they contained; the novices by perusing them were able to raise themselves to the ranks of experts. The issues containing these papers soon became exhausted ; then followed urgent requests that they be published in book form, and these requests became so numerous that Capt. Money was induced to revise the papers. By his emendation we feel that the volume herewith presented is replete with practical information, which will serve as a valuable guide to all who wish to acquire proficiency in pigeon shooting. * * * * * AUTHOR'S PREFACE. There have been many books written on shooting in the field, but I have never come across one on trap shooting; and yet, it appears to me that if a man wishes to become really expert at this form of sport, he will be able to learn much from a careful perusal of the experience of one who has made a study of it for years, and who has himself been a successful trap shot as well as a game shot, not only in America and England, but in many other parts of the world. In the course of the last twenty-five years, I have met and known intimately most of the best known trap shots. I am one who believes that the longer I live the more I can learn, and that other people's opinions are always worth considering, and perhaps adopting, if, on careful consideration they are found to be based on facts and good judgment. Therefore, the following pages I have given my own experience as well as that of the famous crack shots of Europe and America, both amateur and professional.

Download or read book Bird Dog Days Wingshooting Ways written by Archibald Rutledge and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expanded edition of Rutledge's stories on game-bird hunting and devoted canine companions Archibald Rutledge has long been recognized as one of the finest sporting scribes this country has ever produced. A prolific writer who specialized in stories on nature and hunting, over the course of a long and prolific career Rutledge produced more than fifty books of poetry and prose, held the position of South Carolina's poet laureate for thirty-three years, and garnered numerous honorary degrees and prizes for his writings. In this revised and expanded edition of Bird Dog Days, Wingshooting Ways, noted outdoor writer Jim Casada draws together Rutledge's stories on the southern heartland, deer hunting, turkey hunting, and Carolina Christmas hunts and traditions. This collection, first published in 1998, turns to Rutledge's writings on two subjects near and dear to his heart that he understood with an intimacy growing out of a lifetime of experience—upland bird hunting and hunting dogs. Its contents range from delightful tales of quail and grouse hunts to pieces on special dogs and some of their traits. Bird Dog Days, Wingshooting Ways also includes a long fictional piece, "The Odyssey of Bolio," which shows that Rutledge's literary mastery extended beyond simple tales for outdoorsmen.

Download or read book The Passenger Pigeon written by Errol Fuller and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A haunting, beautifully illustrated memorial to this iconic extinct bird At the start of the nineteenth century, Passenger Pigeons were perhaps the most abundant birds on the planet, numbering literally in the billions. The flocks were so large and so dense that they blackened the skies, even blotting out the sun for days at a stretch. Yet by the end of the century, the most common bird in North America had vanished from the wild. In 1914, the last known representative of her species, Martha, died in a cage at the Cincinnati Zoo. This stunningly illustrated book tells the astonishing story of North America's Passenger Pigeon, a bird species that—like the Tyrannosaur, the Mammoth, and the Dodo—has become one of the great icons of extinction. Errol Fuller describes how these fast, agile, and handsomely plumaged birds were immortalized by the ornithologist and painter John James Audubon, and captured the imagination of writers such as James Fenimore Cooper, Henry David Thoreau, and Mark Twain. He shows how widespread deforestation, the demand for cheap and plentiful pigeon meat, and the indiscriminate killing of Passenger Pigeons for sport led to their catastrophic decline. Fuller provides an evocative memorial to a bird species that was once so important to the ecology of North America, and reminds us of just how fragile the natural world can be. Published in the centennial year of Martha’s death, The Passenger Pigeon features rare archival images as well as haunting photos of live birds.
Download or read book Stock Fitter s Bible written by Rollin Oswald and published by . This book was released on 2010-05-13 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stock Fitter's Bible was written for one purpose, to help clay target shooters improve their scores. As you read you will understand why the book has received so many rave reviews. Coaches and trainers teach specific gun mounts, stances and body postures (shooting forms). To shoot up to your full potential, you must use a correct form. To do that, your gun must have stock dimensions that allow someone of your individual size and shape to use the form. If your gun doesn't fit you, a correct form cannot be used - it's that simple. To help you shoot better, the book explains step by step, how your gun can be made to fit you. When it fits, you can expect smoother, more accurate swings, higher, more consistent scores and reduced felt recoil. It also explains how to see targets better, how to effectively visualize targets before calling for them, ways to reduce stress and to postpone fatigue. Almost anyone can improve their shooting. Stock Fitter's Bible explains how to do it.
