Mick's Guns 
Welcome to the Books, Blades, Bows & Sticks Page
Mick's Guns are very proud to present to the world our very dear friend Diggory Hadoke's new book.
For those of you who were lucky enough to attend the book launch in the most prestigious setting of the world's most famous gun maker, James Purdey & Sons, will know all about it. I myself was called away on business at the last minute, but promise to be there for Dig's next book launch. However Michael himself, along with very dear friends Ken Cooper, David Lowrie and Mike Yardley did attend to support Dig who is rapidly becoming the countries leading writer and authority on his specialised subject.
The front cover.
The books rear cover has a photo of Dig and a quote from Mike Yardley.
The book is completely impressive, with many interesting sections and really good quality photographs. This book can be purchased by sending Diggory an e mail either via the link below, or from his excellent website.

Michael Yardley's new book
Compiled and written by Michael after years of exhaustive research, with contributions from Olympic expert Phil Barker and Pull Magazine’s Mike Barnes, this 224-page hardback chronicles the development of the sport from early origins to the modern day Olympics.
It chronicles the progression of clay pigeon shooting from its live pigeon shooting roots; through glass balls and feathers; up to the modern day, taking in along the journey the early champions like Doc Carver, Captain Bogardus and Annie Oakley, the birth of the CPSA; clay shooting in the Olympic Games; how clays helped the war effort; and the growth of the sport up until the modern day.
Hard-backed, and packed with detailed historical information, this book is an essential addition to every clay pigeon shooters library.
