Industry Reviews
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. -- Dave Roberts (winner of the BASC social media book competition) * Shooting and Conservation *
