Air rifle hunting

This informative book takes the novice from choosing his first rifle to hunting techniques. In his highly individual style, John Darling explains the methods and techniques that work for him. Chapters cover the air rifle, ammunition, sights, accessories and clothing, shooting and hunting techniques, the law and safety, quarry (including rabbits, squirrels, rats, woodpigeons, doves and crows), and field target shooting.
