Accokeek, Maryland — Every year millions of hunters go afield with shotguns, and millions more participate in shooting sports such as skeet, trap and sporting clays. Modern Shotgunning, the newest title from Stoeger Publishing, provides a nuts-and-bolts look at today's shotguns - how to use, evaluate and repair them - as well as detailed explanation of loads, uses and techniques.

In today's world, shotguns have varied uses ranging from hunting to home defense, and the choice among the various actions and bores is as personal as it is practical. Author Dave Henderson, an inveterate hunter and competing Class-A trap shooter, points out the differences, advantages and drawbacks of today's shotguns, and gives you the information you need to make the best personal choice. Modern Shotgunning is a complete overview of the modern shotgun covering topics including: actions, gauges, barrels chokes, gun fitting, loads, repair and troubleshooting, cleaning and disassembly, patterning, managing recoil, optics, slug guns, handloading, basics of wing shooting, and specialty guns for turkey, deer, waterfowl, and sporting clays.

"On the subject of shotgunning, this book is THE source," says "Outdoor Life" Hunting Editor Jim Zumbo. "This should be a must read for every person who shoots a shotgun, whether he or she is a beginner or a veteran. It is simply the best I've seen on the subject."
