Product Description

Review

This new publication is, without doubt, one of the most authoritative to be made on the subject and now sits... in my personal airgunning book case, where it deservedly takes pride of place for its literary brilliance. --Airgun Shooter

Matthew doesn't waste words there's no jargon, no bull, just a huge amount of good sense and years of experience from someone who knows air gunning inside out and can write about it clearly with real insight. --Shooting and Conservation

Product Description

Hunting with Air Rifles is a complete guide to the basics of using an air rifle - a gun which is gaining in popularity in the UK. Covering all elements of the sport from the nitty gritty (though not frighteningly technical) workings of the air rifle to how to choose the right gun, using sights, ammunition, accessories, clothing, camouflage, setting up, shooting techniques/stances, the law and acquiring permission to shoot. Manning deals with quarry recognition and the relationship between the hunter, his/her quarry and the countryside. Hunting techniques for various species are included from stalking to hide building, decoying, baiting, lamping and use of calls. Air rifle hunting is one of the most humane ways of sourcing meat animal welfare and organic standards can't get much higher and food miles are minimal, yet proper game preparation is often neglected. Here readers will find clear instructions on converting shot quarry into meat for the table along with a series of simple and delicious recipes.

Format:Hardcover
'Hunting with Air Rifles' is one of many books on this subject and I bought it on the back of a brief review in 'Shooting Times'.

Mathew Manning has managed to combine a good deal of practical information and enjoyable, anecdotal text to give the reader
a pleasurable insight into the world of air rifle hunting.

I really enjoyed the book and found that the format really helped me to soak-up knowledge on the subject and as a result:
my next hunting trips will be very different - it resulted in my buying a new PCP Air rifle!

The photographs are straight forward and just enough to support the text - or to wet the hunting urge.

The book is written without projecting ego or macho statements and I think it is all the better for it.

A recommended book - especially for those new (or rusty) on this subject.

In Hunting with Air Rifles, Mathew Manning has compiled a step-by-step guide on everything a novice or an expert air-gun user needs to know when hunting and culling wildlife.
He represents the book in an informative and sensible fashion, ensuring that users are aware of the legality and ethics of shooting animals, as-well-as what clothing and equipment are necessary; and how to avoid the pit-falls of expensive or dangerous equipment.
I would recommend this book to anyone that is thinking of, or is currently using an air rifle, as there is essential information there for everyone.

Hunting With Air Rifles is an in-depth guide to the art of hunting, yet also remains easy to read and perfect for the beginner.
Mathew Manning utilises his expertise in the field of air rifles and hunting, combined with his excellent, informative writing style. Split up into sections including the function of air rifles, ammunition and clothing to name but a few. Manning provides an insightful guide into people remotely interested in air rifle hunting and experts alike.
Manning's easy-to-follow guidance on game preparation and recipes are also great additions to the basic 'how to use a rifle' guide.
