Description:

The phrase, straight shooter, is as American as apple pie, and there was a time when those words were an important link to another time-honored phrase, putting meat on the table. Today, however, most of us no longer live close to the land and we tend to associate the essentials for meal preparation with grocery store shelves and showcases rather than fields and forests. Yet, enjoying a game feast brings a special sense of self-satisfaction. Sitting down to a fine meal featuring game you have killed, cleaned and cooked offers a reward no food from a restaurant or meat market can match. The folks at Remington Arms Company, along with the untold millions of Americans who have hunted with Remington guns and ammunition for generation, are keenly aware of this aspect of the sporting experience. For them, the allure of the quest remains strong, and appreciation of the fact that the sportsman eats what he kills is a defining aspect of hunting ethics. This book is written with that sense of wha
