PIGEON SHOOTING. By Richard Arnold.
(1956) 1972 2nd edition reprint. 8vo (142 x 222mm). Pp162. B/w photographs and illustrations. Dark green cloth, spine titled in gilt.
This 1972 edition is a reprint of the 1966 second edition, with some corrections. "Certainly the best introduction in the subject which I have yet come across. whether ever before a whole volume has been devoted to the art I do not know; but I am tolerably certain that it can never have been treated either so comprehensively or with such obviously extensive knowledge." (The Field). Still well-thought of today. Chapters include: Introduction; Know your bird; The gun and cartridge; Powder and shot; Hides and blinds; Decoys; Pigeon shooting; Rock-dove shooting; Where to shoot?; Sporting days; Pigeon pie.
