Who is the book for? - I wrote this book for all those airgun hunters, like myself, that enjoy reading about other hunters experiences and stories - along with any helpful hint and information that I can apply on hunts. If you like to hunt, are thinking about hunting, or like to read about the success and mishaps of a hunter you'll have a good read. I like to be very up front with the fact that I am not a technical airgun guru - but a hunter that sometimes takes their game, sometimes fails, and often gets into a bind successful or not!
