Newspapers & Magazines
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 * 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 *
