The perfect gift for the imperfect Shot! A very humorous collection of experiences, faux pas and misdemeanours in the shooting field with anecdotes and tales of many light-hearted incidents from throughout the world. It gives some novel excuses for pickers-up who have failed to find their quarry. In similar vein, during the author's years as a gamekeeper, it was often necessary to think on the hoof and deliver a plausible reason as to why a particular drive didn't go exactly as it should. Sometimes the explanations were so outrageous as to be laughable ? which often diffused a potentially difficult situation ? and on occasion, caused a comment such as, 'I've never heard that one before? how did you think that one up?' To which the author inevitably replied; 'The Gamekeeper's Book of Excuses? page 58'!. AUTHOR: Jeremy Hobson was, for well over 30 years, employed as a gamekeeper and, for much of the last decade, as shoot captain on a prestigious West Sussex estate ? as a result of which, he has seen much of what might possibly occur during a shooting day! An author and writer throughout that time, Jeremy's country-based articles have appeared in most of the relevant sporting magazines and he has had published well over 30 books ? three of which: 'The Shoot Lunch; Success with Chickens' and 'Sporting Lodges', have been for Quiller. SELLING POINTS: ? A wonderful collection of shooting excuses, gaffes and blunders from the sublime to the ridiculous ? 'Tongue-in-cheek' advice is offered to those who have committed the minor faux pas and misdemeanours on the shooting field ? Written by renowned author Jeremy Hobson ? Hilariously illustrated by Oliver Preston ? The perfect shooting gift Colour drawings
