Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airgun author, champion and hunter Ron Robinson chronicles decades of heretofore unexplored air pistol horizons in his uniquely wry, provocative, and self-effacing writing style. In twelve chapters chock-full of dozens of full-color photos, the author exposes his readers to such unheard of air pistol epiphanies as half-inch groups at FIFTY YARDS, air pistols capable of medium game and varmints, his founding of air pistol field target competition, and capturing State and National Champion titles with such unique air pistols as only he would or could employ to achieve the seemingly impossible with AIR PISTOLS! Robinson's compelling writing style compliments his airgun exploits; direct quotes perhaps the best way to sample his unique style and substance. "We love our toys, you and I. Good thing we're fascinated by such tools; because lacking such benign interests, we'd never get our minds out of the gutter! Of few things more fascinating than mechanical things (and, arguably, females), are POWERFUL mechanical things! This Korean maxi-blaster PCP pistol possesses capabilities beyond what most folks, shooters, and (even) airgunners might imagine." "To call my hunting means and methods unusual might understate the truth of the matter." "Just how many shooting aids, accessories, gadgets and gizmos are appropriate in games of shooting skill?" "Handgunning is one of the most challenging of all shooting pursuits, consequently also rife with obstacles, pitfalls, opinions and misinformation. With handgunning being such a challenging pursuit, finding the best sighting system for the specific purpose can return huge dividends in accuracy and results. Certainly as compared to some popular, retentive airgun nonsenses that return little to none! This chapter will explore handgun sighting equipment choices in the hope of bringing the strengths and weaknesses of each option into focus." "But no matter how fantastic any of it might sound, rest assured, the truth is fantastic enough for our purposes! No bullshit required."

Book excerpt: Despite a long history of involvement in the design and production of firearms, the Birmingham firm of Webley & Scott is probably better known to the general public for its manufacture of airguns than for any other product. Until now, there has been no published reference that concentrates exclusively on the history and development of Webley air pistols. This book has been prepared to offer a comprehensive guide for all those interested in the subject and who appreciate the traditional British craftsmanship entailed. It embraces all models based upon the same initial patent, which were produced between the years 1924 and 1999, commencing with the original 'Mark 1' and progressing through twelve other models to the final 'Webley Tempest' introduced more than half a century later. In addition to the pistols themselves, there are sections of the book relating to pellet styles and various shooting accessories produced by the same company. The whole work is divided into twenty-two sections, the text being accompanied throughout with 226 original photographs and over 70 line illustrations, each of which has been prepared by the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to a whole series of useful firearms, beginning with the well-known .22 Long Rifle. The venerable “twenty-two” hosts a wide array of interesting loads, including some ultra-quiet choices and fairly nasty high-speed rounds. Even hotter rimfire calibers include the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, plus three small-bore derivatives: the .17 Mach II, .17 Hornady Rimfire Magnum, and Winchester’s high velocity .17 Super Magnum. Careful shopping can provide us with a useful rimfire (or maybe even two) with which to quietly harvest small game or eliminate pests. An economical .22 LR firearm can also serve as a great high-powered rifle trainer if similar function is considered. In a pinch, it might even work for self-defense. The rimfires can’t do everything, but they can do a lot once fully understood. One trait is easy to overlook until you start shooting. They’re lots of fun! This book will lead the way from beginning to end.
