"The aim of this book is to help shooters become not only good marksmen, but safe ones! The author begins by explaining the shotgun and the practical know-how of using it.

The importance of stance, footwork, and the proper use of the hands is meticulously explained because good shooting is a matter of adept coordination. There is an entire chapter devoted to the special considerations for young shooters. The author warns that safety rules must be taught as well as certain legal restrictions. Every parent of an aspiring young shooter should be aware of these and see that his offspring is also. In order to dispel the many myths and misunderstandings that have arisen about cartridges and their performance the author details the kinds of cartridges used and their characteristics as well as the importance of a happy marriage between gun and cartridge.
