3.0 out of 5 stars Great Advice - Arrogant Attitude, December 9, 2001

This review is from: American Roughshooting (Hardcover)

This would be a five star book had the author not given his "my way or the highway" opinions throughout. I learned much from it. He writes concisely and clearly, and provides good tips. I only wish the photos were color. If you can get through Roggenkamp's opinions (even if one agrees, there is an air of arrogance), this is a great book. I have used it for reference in choosing a dog. I have also used it for reference in general hunting.

1.0 out of 5 stars waste of time, April 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: American Roughshooting (Hardcover)

This book is a slapped together rehash of how-to books on wingshooting. Two or three sections are unedited transcripts of interviews the author conducted with acknowledged experts. They may be experts but it sure makes for painful reading. Mr. Roggenkamp has a great enthusiasm for wingshooting that does come across. I liked his advice to hunt with the best gun you have - don't leave it in the cabinet and that a day in the field is more than a full limit. He seems like a nice guy but he is not a writer and this is not much of a book.

5.0 out of 5 stars WESTERN ROUGHSHOOTER, April 26, 2000

This review is from: American Roughshooting (Hardcover)

FINALLY, A BOOK NOT ONLY ABOUT THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF ROUGHSHOOTING, BUT ABOUT THE LIFESTYLE OF THE AMERICAN UPLAND BIRD HUNTER. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE BOOKS THAT I KEEP READING OVER AGAIN.THIS BOOK DELVES INTO WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT: DOGS, GUNS, BIRDS , AND THE STYLE IN WHICH ONE PURSUES THEM. IN PARTICULAR, IM GLAD TO SEE A BOOK ON UPLAND HUNTING THAT DOESN'T STATE "THE 16 GAUGE IS OBSULETE". MY ONLY CRITICAL ADVICE IS THAT HE OVERLOOKED THE WESTERN ROUGHSHOOTING (CALIFORNIA QUAIL, DOVE, CHUKER) THAT I ENJOY.IM WAITING FOR MR ROGGENCAMPS FOLLOW UP.
