Free eBooks Shotgunning: The Art And The Science Available To Downloads
The classic shotgun reference from one of the top experts in the field.In this near-legendary handbook, respected firearms expert Bob Brister offers advice, instructions, and solutions to every situation a shotgunner might face, making Shotgunning a guide from which both seasoned veterans and novice shooters will benefit. Based on years of tests, meticulous study of data, and a lifetime of insider expertise, this book will help any shooter make every shot count.A veritable encyclopedia of the shotgun for the modern shooter and outdoorsman, Shotgunning details the selection of guns, loads, and chokes; required leads (translated into “bird lengths” for easier shooting recognition); shot velocity and penetration; the effects of recoil on the shooter; wind and temperature effects on shotshells; and much more. Data analysis puts blithely held truths to the test. Myths are debunked, and Brister’s conclusions are supported with hundreds of photographs, lending Shotgunning an authority that many recent, worthwhile books on the subject cannot claim.Brister brightly and boldly presents his readers with the science of shotgunning, but he never forgets the art that makes shooting a sport. Shotgunning is an elegant and educational mélange—a unique and invaluable guidebook that any shotgunner must own.Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for hunters and firearms enthusiasts.

Well written and full of FACTS! Yes, FACTS. verified by testing and analysis. There is a lot of information about a lot issues related to shotgunning. Since I am new to clay shooting, (sporting clays, skeet and trap), coupling this book with others has made my library well rounded.
Excellent... A bit dated, but the theory and application are still fully useable today.
A must read for anyone interested in wing shooting or clay target sports.
Bob Brister's book is a classic! Anyone who shoots clay or live targets should read, heed, and literally devour it. I have been shooting clays for years, yet I learned something new on virtually every page. This is an older book and the styles, cars and so forth reflect that. But what Mr. Brister says is as relevant today as it was when written. I heartily reccomend it!
Nice read for beginners and advanced shooters alike.
Great read for those in clay sports as to why things happen the way they do with shot, chokes, powder charges.....physics in plain English.
