New Gunner? Can't go wrong.

This may be over a decade old but if you are new to airgunning you can't help but learn a lot of usefull information.

This book knows a lot more about air guns that I do.

The air gun field isn't as popular in the press as the firearms field in this country because we are(still) granted the rights and freedoms won by our soldiers in battle against the very counties others site as 'expert' in the air gun field. To bad their countries don't trust them with real guns. Anyway, I do wish there was an update on the airgun field, its been 11 years now since the third edition. Since Krause Publications bought out the old DBI books, the priorities seemed to have changed. However it would pay to consider that the 1st edition came out in 1977, the second, in 1988, the 3rd in 1995. So they are about due for another. Regardless of what you think about the writing, Robert Beeman is a noted industry authority, and Galan has over 25 years in the field also. Galan writes in a tongue in cheek style and if you read between the lines, you get a true and accurate assessment of the air gun he is reporting. I've been happy with the airgun digest, I have learned alot more about a wider variety of airguns than I could from any other single source and look forward to the next edition.

Air Gun Digest III

I found this a well written book on the many airguns available. I enjoyed the review and would recommend it to anyone seeking more information on modern airguns. The reviews at the back of the book are very helpful but retail prices would improve the book. Many rare airguns are listed in the book which serves as a valuable resource. The book does a fine job of detailing the many types and style of airguns made over the years as well as the different systems used to power the airguns, spring, co2, pneumatic, gas ram, etc. I rate it as five stars!Doug Law
