AIR rifles get a very bad press because many of them end up in the wrong hands and are used for anti-social purposes, but in the right hands it is one of the most effective means of controlling rabbits and vermin while still enjoying the great outdoors.

Respected shooter Bezzant’s book is ideal for those in the countryside who enjoy bagging something free for the pot.

Bezzant gives you the lowdown on the quarry (rabbits, wood pigeons, feral pigeons, rats etc), the right rifle for you, the law relating to air rifle shooting and even field craft and clothing. And for the squeamish there is a section on disposing of quarry humanely.
