The Art of Good Shooting

Classic shotgun marksmanship that covers everything a sporting shooter needs to know. This includes gun handling, gun mechanics, and specialized shooting techniques.
Ruffer is well-known for advocating a unique method where the shooter smoothly mounts the gun directly onto the moving target, eliminating the traditional need to intentionally “lead” or fire ahead of the bird.
Includes basic instruction on how to hold and mount the gun, discussion on lead or forward allowance in firing, and the technique of special shots such as snap shot, the going-away shot and the difficult pheasant shot.
A chapter on guns and cartridges examines pattern and killing power.
