Excerpt from Shooting on a Small Income: How to Shoot and the Management of Small Shootings

Vi]man to whom it matters but little whether his shooting costs him a hundred or so more one year than it does another, but for the man of moderate means who wants to get as good shooting as he can, but who does not want to spend more money than is necessary. It is for this reason that I have omitted such branches of shooting as grouse driving.

To me it has always appeared that the rich man who leaves all in the hands of his keepers, and simply pays and goes out to have birds put over him, loses a great part of the pleasure which may be obtained from a shoot. If a man is a keen sportsman in the true sense, it should be a pleasure to him to learn as much as possible about the game he pursues, including the best ways of getting at it and bringing it to him, and he will find that knowledge of this kind is very useful.

Much that is connected with shooting, can only be learned by experience and practice, but on the other hand experiencecombined with ignorance is likely to produce disastrous results.
