The Complete English Wing Shot
by George Teasdale Teasdale-Buckell
About the author
George Teasdale Teasdale-Buckell wrote about guns, shooting, and game sport, and is best known today for books including The Complete Shot, Experts on Guns and Shooting, and The Complete English Wing Shot. His writing is closely tied to British sporting life at the turn of the 20th century, and surviving editions show a strong interest in both the technical side of shooting and the habits of game birds.
Book-trade and library sources also describe him as an editor of Land and Water during the last fifteen years of the 19th century. That background helps explain the tone of his books: they read less like abstract manuals and more like the work of someone used to weighing opinions, comparing methods, and speaking directly to enthusiasts.
For modern listeners, Teasdale-Buckell offers a window into a very specific world of outdoor sport and sporting journalism. Even when his subject is specialized, his books have an energetic, argumentative quality that makes them more than simple instruction manuals.
