Takes you from a starter's point of knowing nothing all the way through all of the different types of air rifles, comparring them with respect to ease of use, power, expense and necessary equipment.In this book Chapman also covers additional equipment necessary for a successful hunt with an air rifle as well as clothing and hunting strategies for different game animals. He also discusses minimum power levels necessary to take different sizes of game and the terminal effects of various caliber and weights of pellets. The book is well organized and follows a logical path through selection of air rifles though implimenting them in a hunt. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is contemplating hunting with sir rifles.
Things I would have changed:Only more images and of higher quality would have been nice in support of an excellent text!
What others should know:Read & Learn. There's something in this book for the novice as well as the experienced hunter.

This is a nicely organized, practical, useful and entertaining addition to the bookshelf of any airgunner - and, if you want to convert a friend to using airguns for hunting, it would make an good gift (as long as you include a note apologizing for the book's substandard performance in regard to spelling, punctuation, etc.).
Things I would have changed:It's a real shame that Jim Chapman and/or his publisher (Jaeger Press) did not take the time to proofread the text. Since I'm purchasing a book (not a DVD or access to an online forum), I am obviously "print-oriented." I'm not expecting for a book on hunting with airguns to win a Pulitzer Prize, but I do expect for it to provide evidence that the author can spell and has mastered the basic elements of English grammar and punctuation. I know that Jim Chapman is a very skillful and well-informed hunter and airgunner, but he loses some credibility with me when he puts his name on a text with myriad errors. After a while, the reader starts to think, "If he doesn't care very much about the final polish of his book, then does he really care about the stuff he writes about?" I would expect to pay around seven dollars for something this rough (which is nevertheless useful), not the premium price that's being charged.
