Master the Art of Shotgunning

Shotgunning: The Art and Science by Bob Brister is an essential read for anyone serious about shotgun shooting. This book offers a comprehensive, factual, and engaging look at shotguns and shooting techniques. Brister breaks down complex concepts in a way that is easy for non-technical readers to understand, making this book accessible to beginners while still being valuable to seasoned shooters.

In his pursuit of truth, Brister meticulously tested thousands of loads to determine what works and what doesn’t when it comes to shotguns. With a unique approach, involving a fourteen-foot patterning board pulled by a car (driven by his wife, Sandy), he demonstrated the effects of shot stringing and how different pellets impact moving targets at varying distances.

This book is filled with insights that debunk myths about shotguns and cartridges, making it a vital addition to any shotgunner’s library—whether you're a competitive clay shooter, a waterfowl hunter, or an upland bird hunter.
