The Gun Book for Boys

by Silvio Calabi, Steve Helsley, Roger Sanger

Overview

The first of a three-volume series, this book is aimed at young readers interested in guns and shooting but who have no background in firearms and don’t know where to begin. Thoroughly illustrated with drawings and photos, it defines firearms terms, provides hands-on advice about using and maintaining guns, and explains aspects of shooting ranging from historic target matches to military sniping. Through example and anecdote, the book emphasizes safety and proper usage, and everything is presented in easily managed portions that can be read in series or singly—backed up with an index and suggestions for further reading.

Editorial Reviews

For some, hunting is a rite of passage. The Gun Book for Boys is a hunting guide for those who embrace the sport of hunting, outlining the game and the tools of their destruction. With a bit of history surrounding the creation of guns through history, their advancement, the essential gear of history, and much more. The Gun Book for Boys is a fun and practical read with plenty of references and black and white photography throughout, highly recommended.
