Advanced Airgun Hunting: A Guide to Equipment, Shooting Techniques and Training

good value, quick service

Liked the book. Several hours good read in it for all those interested in 'accurate' air rifle hunting.Plenty of positives in it. However, there are some negatives too.Negatives are that it is pretty heavily biased towards one make - Theoben.e.g. only one make is good enough for advanced shooting ... Theoben (blah blah).Whole chapter(s) devoted to how to strip down your Theoben and how to keep your Theoben in tip-top condition.And it is quite biased towards .25 calibre (this being clearly the best calibre, it explains at length) and which it also points out that you will need a 16 foot pound rifle which you will also need a firearms certificate for.So, overall, it IS a good book but let down a little by leaving the (non-Theoben) reader feeling throughout that if they don't actually own a .25 Theoben then they are somewhat less than worthy. Surely this attitude could alienate some potential readers/purchasers of this book?PS: And did we really need such a large chapter on weight training - albeit full of many photographs (of the author lifting weights?). There are plenty of other sources for such material - this book could have spent a little more time on matters that would interest the majority of shooters. Or it could have left out a couple of completely unnecessary chapters (there aren't that many chapters in it anyway!)... and produced a better value [cheaper] book!!

A very extensive book, albeit biased towards one particular Theoben rifle, and very systematic - almost like a military manual at times. This covers all the elements you will need to achieve pin-point accuracy at 40 yards, which is beyond the average air-gun range of 30 yards. By 'Advanced Airgun Hunting' one should read 'How to shoot 10 yards further than the average air gunner', because ultimately that is what this book is about. Worth buying for an extra 10 yards? Your choice but the book alone won't help you because you'll need a top of the range air rifle as well (Theoben perhaps?).

I agree with the other reviewers, in that the focus is on one make of air rifle "Theoben" a good rifle, but not the only one out there. Unfortunately Theoben are no longer trading. I wonder if the author has received his reward before they went to the wall.

A well written and illustrated book but I was disappointed as seemed very biased to one make of gun.As a Daystate, Ripley, Brocock, and Air Arms owner I would like to have seen more content about not just one gun.However there are still a good number of hits and tips well worth a read.
