Recensione:
It is much more than a comprehensive guide to mounting a shotgun and shooting accurately in that it is an in-depth look at the overall game shooting scene, including pigeon and wildfowling. It is further enhanced in that Chris is an accomplished writer who has contributed articles to fieldsports publications for many years... Chris has dug deeply to produce a truly comprehensive book, covering virtually everything connected with shooting. He explains the master eye which is the vital equivalent of being right or left-handed, footwork, posture and head position. Common faults are explained along with the causes... There is advice on gun maintenance and transporting shotguns.The Instinctive Shot is also a fascinating read in itself. However experienced one might be I am sure that there is still much to learn within its pages. It is more than simply an instruction book for novices. It is profusely illustrated throughout with full colour photographs, diagrams and useful ballistic data. I highly recommend it. --Countryman's Weekly
Batha has a knack for explaining technical concepts clearly, and often uses lively analogies from other sports to make his points. The text is complemented by a profusion of color photos, charts and diagrams, all of which make Batha's explanations easily visualized and understood. Each chapter is broken into bit-sized subtopics, the contents of which are based on "all the questions I have been asked while giving shooting lessons, gun-fittings and at shows." If you don't have a game-shooting technique book, this is one you MUST own. --Shooting Sportsman
