Explore adult precision airgunning in a book that collects
30 articles written by Jock Elliott for Precision Shooting and
The Accurate Rifle magazines.
Thirty-one PDF files with photographs take you through the fascinating
world of airguns, from the (ab)original airgun (the blowgun),
to long-range shooting with some of the world's foremost air
marksmen, to the airgunsmiths who build some of the world's best
airguns, to the tough game you can play in your backyard: minisniping.
If you shoot, would like to shoot more in the comfort of your
own yard or basement, or are simply intrigued by airguns that
can hit at dime at 50 yards, check out Elliott on Airguns.
Here's what readers have to say about Elliott on
Airguns:
"$22 bucks?! GIVE ME A BREAK!!! THIS IS A STEAL!!! Jock
Elliot brought me back several years to a time when journalism
was keen. Gentlemen, if you have not read this compendium of
airgun knowledge, yet, you are deprived of the best in airgun
journalism EVER!!! Thanks, Jock!!! I robbed you! The price is
WAY too low for the content, my friend. Thank you from the bottom
of my heart for GREAT airgun journalism! Jock Rocks!" --

"I received my CD today from Jock. It is well organized
and filled with a plethora of useful and entertaining information.
It has some 30 chapters filled with the quality stuff we love
to read about. All the chapters are in pdf format so searching
and viewing is great. I definitely feel I got more than I paid
for, thanks Jock." -- Steve in CT
"I've had the pleasure of reading an advance copy for a
couple days now and... ...happily note that, in these 30 articles,
Jock breezes through pretty much an overview of the entire history
(including pre-history actually) of the technology of the airgun:
from lung-power through the origins of the Daisy to contemporary
PCP. I think my favorites are the articles on 'low-power tack-drivers.'
Each article is written in Jock's easy-to-read style and the
whole Adobe-formatted collection is pure plug-and-play. A real
"page-turner!" (Well - virtually ). Highly recommended."
-- Steve in NC
"This is a nice introduction for friends and other folks
who may be interested or interestable in airgunnery. It won't
answer detailed questions, but it wasn't designed to do that.
It's a series of articles Mr. Elliott wrote for the two premier
English language technical journals on shooting. The readership
of those two books collectively is as expert and as picky as
any on earth. The articles are plenty interesting for folks who
already know about airguns, but they assume only the ability
to understand simple technical description and little background
knowledge, so they are ideal for novices. I've sent discs to
folks who would be caught by the bug if they knew these things
existed. If you don't know Jock's work, I must say that he is
knowledgeable, has an enjoyably readable and straightforward
writing style, and is possessed of an abiding fascination with
aerohoplology that shows contagiously in these little pieces.
Get one for yourself. Get one for your powdershooting friends.
Get one for anybody who likes guns and technology, especially
if he or she is limited in shooting by urbanization. They'd be
bargains at twice their price." -- D.N.K. in Colorado
