The World's Greatest Shooting Stories brings together for the first time all the most hilarious, extraordinary and bizarre tales from more than two hundred years of sporting shooting from around the world. Given the huge popularity of the sport there are stories of big game hunting in Africa and India during the 19th century; tales from the Wild West of America; grouse shooting on Edwardian English moors; rough shooting and wildfowling; tales of poachers and diverse tales from eccentric Royals to Russian secret servicemen. All the great shooting characters of the past are well represented. Everyone who enjoys shooting would agree that the next best thing to being out there is reading about it which is where this book comes in, a wonderful collection of stories for modern Guns about the lighter side of the history of the sport.
