Shooting Types: The Second Barrel - Giles Catchpole & Bryn Parry

Giles Catchpole, one of the most popular and amusing contributors to the Shooting Gazette, together with the renowned and brilliant cartoonist Bryn Parry, have loaded up another game bags worth of sharply written and wittily observed shooting types and unleashed them onto an expectant readership through The Second Barrel, a sequel to Shooting Types. Their characters appear in a monthly column in the Shooting Gazette, in which Catchpole wickedly and brilliantly observes the eccentricities of the sportsmen, dogs, beaters, hosts and supporting characters all of which are superbly illustrated by Bryn Parry's perceptive and humorous cartoons. Every Shot or shooting enthusiast will recognise many of the characters in this book. An ideal gift which will without doubt become an essential addition to every country sportsman's bookshelf. 

Reviews:
'When genius meets genius the outcome is perfection. And the two men behind this book fall into that category, as regular Shooting Gazette readers will be well aware.  Giles Catchpole has a unique understanding of the different characters involved in shooting, and with his mischievous sense of humour and understanding of the language, his words give pleasure enough in themselves. However, when united with Bryn Parry's simply superb cartoons, the combination is unstoppable...  Every shooting household should have a copy of this book - it is pure fun and you might just recognise yourselves and your friends in some of the stereotypes.'  

'A brilliant book observing the eccentricities of sportsmen, dogs, beaters, hosts and supporting characters. Shooting Types is a must-have book for anyone interested in the sport. Bryn Parry's witty yet excellent cartoons of characters which will be recognised by everyone really bring this book to life.' 

'This book shows the brilliant observations of the eccentricities of the sportsmen, dogs, beaters and hosts. Every shooting enthusiast will recognise many of the characters in this book, all illustrated with Bryn Parry's perceptive and humorous cartoons.' 

'We've seen them all - the grouse virgin, the apoplectic owner, the cartridge cadger and - if we're lucky - the hostess with the mostest. All sporting life is here, with wickedly accurate cartoons and laugh-out-loud text. A book that should grace every sporting gent's loo.' 

'It's probably fair to say that the shooting field has a few interesting characters and eccentrics lining up on the peg. This follow-up book to the best-selling 'Shooting Types' captures this beautifully, whilst Bryn Parry's perceptive and humorous cartoons make this book a sporting 'must-have.' 

'In this sequel to Shooting Types, Catchpole once again brilliantly observes the eccentricities of sportsmen, dogs, beaters, hosts and supporting characters, all of which are superbly illustrated by Bryn Parry's perceptive and wickedly humorous cartoons.
