The Airgunner's Companion: A Field Guide to Hunting with Air Rifles

The Airgunner's Companion provides you with the fundamental knowledge necessary to be an effective hunter. The go-to guide for beginners and intermediates interested in hunting with air rifles and wanting to learn how to get the most out of them. Another high-quality "how to" publication from Quiller Publishing in A4 size with sturdy binding — suitable for being taken out to the field if required. The number of high-quality photos throughout the book add significantly to the descriptive text. Braithwaite writes with an easily read, flowing style — sharing his extensive knowledge of the technical side of air guns and associated accessories as well as his obvious passion for hunting with this type of firearm... I think the summary on the back cover sums up the book very well: "The Airgunner''s Companion provides you with the fundamental knowledge necessary to be an effective hunter." This book really opened my eyes to how much things have changed since I last used an air rifle as a youngster... I read the whole book in one week — it makes an excellent bedside companion for any shooter. I was delighted that even after so many years of shooting, I could still pick up new tips and tricks. Whatever experience you have, you will find The Airgunner''s Companion a great read. Being an effective hunter with a modern precision air rifle requires;

• being suitably well informed about the intended quarry species,
  
• have a wealth of knowledge concerning different hunting methods,
  
• a detailed understanding of how their air rifle performs, and know how to maximise its attributes to optimise efficacy in the field, and
  
• a level of proficiency in shooting an air rifle.
