A Good Basic Reference

The author/editor, David E. Petzal, is currently the Executive Editor of Field and Stream Magazine; as well as one of the funniest and most knowledgeable authorities on shooting and hunting.The book contains a wide variety of information on hunting with rifle, handgun, or shotgun. It also includes information on game species and techniques, as well as competitive shooting.It seems to be written for a European (particularly British) audience, but has information on North American hunting, too. I just wish it had more details and specifics. But, it is a good way to pass the time in the off-season (or anytime when you can't hunt or fish!), especially for beginners.
