Reviews
Hot Barrels! is as fun as it is informative. Bryn Parry's superb cartoons bring this book alive, giving it a real character. As the subtitle suggests, you are taken into the dark and mysterious world of shooting superstitions, which many of us can relate to. For example, are you one of those Guns who believe that that if you don't connect with the first two shots, the rest of the day's shooting will be a washout? This fascinating book also gives plenty of practical advice on all sorts of topics drawn from Jeremy Hobson's sporting experience and wide reading.
No matter how long you have been shooting, there is something in this book that will surprise, inform and educate you. It would be an ideal gift for a sporting person, or an excellent way to sit and read in front of a roaring fire. -- Matt Clark * Sporting Gun *
