    Ring my bell.

    There is a book with this title on Amazon, but it might not be what think it is about !

    Not a book, but I presume you could work with this;

    May help:
    I got my (signed) copy from a Bell Target shooting booth at The Shooting Show some years ago. A pile of the books (soft back) were on sale. I cannot remember the exact name of the Bell Target Club holding the stand but I saw them at many such shows. Something to do with West Midlands maybe. ... from the accents they were from W Midlands/Birmingham and before anyone objects to this description I should point out that I am a Brummie.
    Maybe if someone can say which club it was then a mail to the secretary could get you a copy? Maybe their name is on a list of Exhibitors?
    Cheers, Phil

    I got my copy directly from the publisher (and author) a number of years ago so I am not sure whether the contact details are still correct. I will pm you with the info I have.

    That would probably be Walton Lions, they used to go to the fairs and you could even win a rifle for the best score;

    Also on the BBC;

    The young lady in the video was a demon shot on the night I went there several years ago!

    Hi Aubrey,

    Sadly the author is no longer with us. Frank Spittle used to run the Museum of Marksmanship, a place I always kept saying I would visit one day but much to my regret I never did.

    I agree this is an excellent book.

    Kind regards,

    John
    Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.

    I was afraid that might be the case

    If only shooting was so mainstream today
