It also is very informitive on products and maintenance that the airgun hunter should be awair of. It also realistic about airgun hunting. I have read of people shooting tiny groups at a hundred yards with air guns and i have always doubted it. I have always thought that most of those claims are either outright lies, or they are just a really poor judge of distance. This writer puts things in the proper prespective. The usual for airguns is between 15-25 yards, after that in the hands of your typical marksman they arnt powerful or accurate enough. I appreciate this imput being fairly new to the air hunting scean. See all 1 customer reviews...
