The Instinctive Shot is a practical, straight-forward manual on how to become a better game shooter. The author gives step-by-step explanations of the correct shooting action needed to build a consistent swing and balanced move to the bird, regardless of species or type of shooting — the essential sequence of Eye — Brain — Hand synchronisation that creates an Instinctive Shot.
For Chris Batha, this is a compilation of information and experiences gleaned from his life-long passion for game shooting. His advice is easily understood and alternative suggestions are offered wherever possible. Both clear and concise, The Instinctive Shot emphasises the practical, while not forgetting the theoretical.

This book not only describes 'how to shoot', but it is a reference book covering all aspects of world-wide game shooting from guns, quarry and equipment to etiquette and attire — this is a volume for the game wing shooter to refer to time and time again.

Chris Batha is one of the most qualified and experienced shooting instructors and gunfitters in the world today. His articles appear in many magazines both in Europe and the US. He is one of only five coaches worldwide to hold the position of Fellow of the Institute of Clay Shooting Instructors. A member of the coveted 100 Straight Club, he owns the companies Charles Boswell Gunmaker, London and Joseph Harkom of Edinburgh. His previous Quiller title is the highly successful Breaking Clays ISBN 978-1-904057-43-7.
