" This book is written entirely from the point of view of the shooting man. No serious attempt has been made to describe the various game birds according to the standards of ornithologists. They are instead described by an oldtime bird hunter. Added to the chapters about game birds are a few others that deal with equipment and wing shooting. Supplementing the information about game, these are intended to aid the man who does not have a book especially devoted to the gun".
