    About this ebook

    Originally published 1877. A fascinating early work on archery. Contents include: Archery in Hunting - Woodpecker Shooting - Hare or Rabbit Shooting - Bow Shooting - Shooting Wildfowl - Battles of the Birds - Wing Shots - Fancy Work - Shooting Woodcock and Plover - Bow as a Hunting Weapon - American Bow Hunting etc.
    Many of the earliest archery books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
