Robert Churchill's Game Shooting -- by Robert Churchill
Robert Churchill wrote the definitive book on instinctive wingshooting for game birds and sporting clays. It quickly became a classic in its field and has remained an enduring legacy to the man who took an innate ability to shoot, perfected it, and then shared his knowledge with shooting enthusiasts throughout the world. Longtime friend and collaborator, Macdonald Hastings, himself a renowned shooting coach, twice revised and updated Churchill's book New foreword by Bryan Bilinski. Hardbound Your Cost: $30.00

Hunting Upland Birds -- by Charles F. Waterman
Who Could improve on Waterman? Nobody - except Waterman. Originally published a quarter of a century ago, Charley Waterman's book has been newly updated with the latest information for today's wingshooter, along with the timeless advise on strategy, equipment and bird behavior that made the original book an essential for upland hunters. Nobody can claim more experience than Charley when it comes to matching wits with Western quail on the run, tree-hopping ruffled grouse, dive-bombing chuckars, woodcock undercover - and that's not the half of it. Bobwhites, pheasants, Hungarian partridge, snipe, doves, and more - twenty-five species and all of their kin. It's all there along with the guns, the dogs, and setting your course for just the right spot. No tall tales here, just the facts, all in detail, and all with Charley's unmistakable wit and decided lack of pretense. Al Joel Vance writes in the foreword, "...if it isn't included it really doesn't matter. There never has been a more complete upland hunting book, nor is there ever likely to be.

Game Gun -- by Richard S. Grozik
This book is a study in appreciation, as Grozik details the sweat and blood and care that go into the crafting of the best-quality game gun - from the making of stocks and barrels to the finishing touches of engraving and checkering and gun fit. All these elements combine to build into the game gun a balance, responsiveness, and handling that you can't find in machine-made shotguns. Game Gun takes a look at the leading "best" guns of yesterday and today, including the Parkers, Foxes, L.C. Smiths, and Lefevers of America's golden age of gunmaking, and the Purdeys, Holland & Hollands, Piottis, Garbis, and other fine doubles still being made in Europe. Its vivid color photography and detailed prose are sure to inform and excite both the beginner and veteran shotgunner. Hardbound  Your Cost: $39.00

Shotguns and Shooting -- by Michael McIntosh
Here McIntosh captures the whole gun-The gun as a combination of form, fit, and function. And he does it with unequaled insight and eloquence - whether he's describing the painstaking work involved in transforming a blank of Old World walnut into a beautifully finished stock, the clockwork precision of a classic lock, or the ways in which hands, eyes, and instinct combine in a proper shooting technique. Divided into two sections, the first on the art of guns and gunmaking and the last on the art of shooting, this book is, as McIntosh himself writes, "a celebration of the gun." A celebration no lover of fine doubles should miss. Hardbound  Your Cost: $30.00

A Fall of Woodcock --by Tom Huggler
"A fall of woodcock into a covert you have either chosen or to which you have been directed is a magic all its own," Tom Huggler writes in this book devoted to the woodcock and to those who await his return to their favorite coverts each autumn. This book casts a similar spell as it chronicles Tom's travels to New England, The Maritimes, Maine, Louisiana, then back to his beloved Michigan in search of a better understanding of the woodcock, and finally, a better understanding of himself.
