Synopsis

Hunting with air rifles is one of the simplest and most effective methods of humane pest control. Whether culling rats and crows around the farmyard, protecting crops from pigeons or hunting rabbits for the table, airguns offer a relatively inexpensive and unrestricted passport to the world of shooting. This book covers all aspects of hunting with air rifles, from gun shop to kitchen, with an emphasis on safe, responsible shooting. Starting with the basics of choosing the right gun, clothing and accessories for the job, through to shooting technique and advanced tactics including stalking, decoying, lamping and hide building, the author provides valuable information for newcomers and experienced shooters alike. The author also gives an insight into the habits of the main airgun quarry species, unlocking the secrets of the relationship between wildlife, the countryside and the changing seasons the key to successful hunting. There is clear guidance on game preparation and easy-to-follow recipes demonstrate how the free-range meat resulting from a successful day in the field can then be turned into a wholesome meal.
