Wildfowling Summary

Wildfowling by British Association for Shooting & Conservation

Wildfowling is perhaps the purest form of hunting practiced in the UK. The pursuit of truly wild quarry in remote and beautiful places has a magical attraction, but the mystique that surrounds it can also discourage the newcomer. Here, BASC provides a straightforward, practical guide to this challenging sport.
Acknowledged experts explain:
  • how to find shooting
  • the choice of gun
  • the law
  • necessary equipment
  • where, when and how to shoot
  • how to ensure your safety on the marsh and foreshore.
Wherever you live in the UK, there is almost certainly a BASC affiliated club within reach, making wildfowling one of the most accessible and affordable kinds of shooting. This book equips aspiring wildfowlers to take their first steps towards enjoying this unique sport.

Perfect for anyone taking up wildfowling, it's a book which can easily be referred to as they develop their knowledge of, and confidence in, what can be a daunting sport.
The book is designed to guide beginners through the quagmire of questions they need to have addressed before embarking on a wildfowling expedition.
