Synopsis

The Instinctive Shot is a practical, straight-forward manual on how to become a better game shooter. The author gives step-by-step explanations of the correct shooting action needed to build a consistent swing and balanced move to the bird, regardless of species or type of shooting — the essential sequence of Eye — Brain — Hand synchronisation that creates an Instinctive Shot.

For Chris Batha, this is a compilation of information and experiences gleaned from his life-long passion for game shooting. His advice is easily understood and alternative suggestions are offered wherever possible. Both clear and concise, The Instinctive Shot emphasises the practical, while not forgetting the theoretical.

This book not only describes 'how to shoot', but it is a reference book covering all aspects of world-wide game shooting from guns, quarry and equipment to etiquette and attire — this is a volume for the game wing shooter to refer to time and time again.

MEDIA REVIEWS

The Instinctive Shot is also a fascinating read in itself. However experienced one might be I am sure that there is still much to learn within its pages. It is more than simply an instruction book for novices. It is profusely illustrated throughout with full colour photographs, diagrams and useful ballistic data. I highly recommend it.

If you don't have a game-shooting technique book, this is one you MUST own.

Written by a well-respected author and coach, Chris Batha, this practical guide to modern game shooting certainly covers everything a novice shooter needs to know to become a safe game shot. Each of the 20 chapters covers a specific topic, ranging from safety, etiquette and equipment, through to what to wear and even to which type of cartridge to use - and each is covered comprehensively and with authority.

This straightforward manual is fully illustrated with both photos and diagrams to help the beginner shoot straight, and the more experienced shot shoot straighter... This is a book that is both practical and theoretical that you can come back to again and again.
