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

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. -- Gary Creighton * British Country Sports *
