| Publisher Description: 2012 Reprint of 1951 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Profusely illustrated. Charles Singer Landis was the preeminent small-bore writer and target/varmint shooter of his time. Above all, Landis was an experimenter with a keen interest in the "how" and "why" of firearms and ammunition performance. He was a perceptive observer of wildlife, which made him an expert hunter. Best of all, he was a good writer with the ability to organize his vast store of knowledge and information and present it in a style both concise and eminently readable. His "Woodchucks and Woodchuck Rifles" remains one of the most definitive books on the subject. |
