Safari Press,U.S. Hell, I'm Still Here!: Fifty Years a Gunwriter
Book SynopsisNobody has seen or done it all, but Jon Sundra has come as close as anyone. He wrote his first article in 1966, and by the early 1970s had risen to prominence at a time when the Golden Era of American outdoor writers was in full swing. The next thirty-plus years was a time he and his colleagues were routinely invited by Remington, Winchester, Weatherby, and Ruger—and by many foreign gun manufacturers as well—to all-expense-paid jaunts to hunt and visit factories all over the world. It was a time long before the Internet, cable TV, and blogging drastically diluted what had been a very exclusive world, a time when a select handful of men—characters, actually—gathered in venues where little business was accomplished but a helluva lot of good food was consumed and adult beverages quaffed. Sometimes even a few gun-related things were discussed! During this period Jon met all the greats of the shooting and hunting world, and this book gives us an unvarnished look at some of the characters of that regrettably gone era. Jon is still active today, after having undertaken over a hundred hunting trips on five continents, not counting those in the States. This book is primarily not a description of those hunts, but rather a funny, very descriptive picture of an era in which gunwriters were kings of their domain and had egos to match. Jon cavorted with Elmer Keith, Jack O'Connor, Warren Page, Slim Pickens, Charlie Askins, Bill Jordan, Skeeter Skelton, Bob Milek, John Wooters, George Nonte, Jack Lewis, and others, and he has amusing stories to tell of these giants of the gunwriting world. Many of these men got to see Europe, South America, or Africa for the first time because Jon invited them on behalf of his consulting clients. Some of Jon's exploits found him in South America where he discovered some long-forgotten bottles of priceless French wine in an out-of-the-way cantina. He even reveals his criminal past, and how, along with Bob Milek, was almost thrown off a train in Finland. Jon is surely the only gunwriter who owns and drives Lamborghinis, and there's even a chapter on his sporting cars and his sports car races. He travels to Europe two or three times a year on his own nickel on trips having nothing to do with guns or hunting. Today he still writes as field editor for Safari magazine, and is a regular contributor to Rifle Shooter, Gun Digest, and Ballistic magazines. If anyone has ever had a colorful life, surely it's Jon Sundra.

Derrydale Press Tails I Lose: Coping with Bird Dogs
Book SynopsisJoel Vance, a widely published sports writer, is known for the tremendous sense of humor he brings to his writing. Tail I Lose: Coping With Bird Dogs entertainingly describes the unique love and bonding the working dog and trainer develop—and the crazy, demented lengths to which this bond will take them!Trade ReviewWhat bird dogs do right is astonishing, and what they do wrong is often very funny, especially in Vance's words. He even describes how a bird dog's nose works. The book is not dedicated to Vance's four-legged hunting partners - that honor goes to the humans in his life - but the rest of the book is theirs, with unconditional affection. -- Candus Thompson * Baltimore Sun *When is the last time you read any haiku, much less haiku about bird dogs. You'll get it here with: I lie belly up-In the sunshine, happier than-You ever will be; and, Sleeping here, my chin-On your foot-no greater bill-well-Maybe chasing cats. Then there's another ten or so stories, pure magical stories about gun dogs and their masters, or more correctly, their handlers, as Vance continually points out that it is difficult to determine who masters who. -- Dan Donarski * Sault Evening News- Marie, Mi *Tails I Lose is a fun little read, and at its best when being witty. Although Vance is a Brittany man, the soul of the stories is far from breed specific. In fact, one of the most memorable chapters of the ("Old Friends") is about two-legged hunting companions. -- Matt Crawford * Grouse Point Almanac *Joel Vance's books and articles have always been entertaining and informative. He has written for just about every sporting magazine in existence and has been a fixture at many. This new book chronicles his life around bird dogs, mostly his Brittanys. -- Tony Dolle * Tnn Outdoors *About his latest book, Vance said, "The title popped into my head. Brittainies don't have tails and so much of the book is about things that have happened with the tailless Brits that Tails I Lose seemed to fit - a fitting play on words. -- Barbara Baird * Outdoor Guide *

Rowman & Littlefield The Gun Book for Boys
Book SynopsisIt’s a simple fact: Guns are part of America. Guns enabled the Pilgrims to stay in the New World. The first shots of the American Revolution were fired when British troops tried to seize Colonists’ guns, powder and shot. America’s Industrial Age was spurred by gunmakers and the need to better equip soldiers. The Wild West was settled by ranchers, miners, traders, fur trappers and farmers, whose guns fed and protected them and their families. America and firearms literally grew up together, but now some people only equate guns with crime and violence. Gun control has become a polarizing political issue, and misinformation about firearms is spreading, intentionally and unintentionally, far and wide. Now three experts are tackling the subject in a series of highly accessible books that explores the realities of firearms and debunks common misunderstandings. The books are non-political, and information is delivered in an easy-to-understand, conversational style. The Gun Book for Boys is the first in the series, and it is intended for boys (and girls) ages 12 – 16 who are interested in guns and shooting, but who have no family members to teach them. Examples and anecdotes emphasize safety and proper usage, and the book defines terms, provides hands-on advice about using, maintaining and safely storing guns, debunks myths, delves into history, and explains topics ranging from target shooting to hunting to military sniping. Everything is thoroughly illustrated and presented in easily managed portions that can be read in series or individually. The book also has an index, suggestions for other “must-have” gun books and a comprehensive bibliography.Trade ReviewFor 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. * Midwest Book Review *…the best beginner's gun manual ever… -- Stephen Bodio, Council for Wisconsin Writers * October 19, 2012 *…this one gets my highest recommendation, I don't care what the age of the person is or the sex, whether it's a kid or parent, boy or girl, The Gun Book for Boys is a great way to start… -- Tom Gresham * Gun Talk Radio, October 28, 2012 *

Now three experts have tackled the subject in a series of books that explores the realities of guns and shooting and sets the record straight about some common misconceptions. On the heels of The Gun Book for Boys and The Gun Book for Parents, The Gun Book for Girls is for girls (and women) interested in guns and shooting but who have little or no background in firearms. Through example and anecdote, the book emphasizes safety and proper usage, and it defines terms and provides hands-on advice about using and maintaining guns. It also covers firearms, shooting methods, clothing and accessories for women, profiles females who shoot and who work in the gun trade, and discusses the issues around guns for self-defense (a topic of special interest to women). Like the other two titles, this book is non-political and written in an easy-to-understand conversational tone. Each book is thoroughly illustrated, and content is presented in easily managed portions that can be read in series or singly, all backed up with an index. Trade ReviewThe Gun Book for Girls is for girls and women interested in guns and shooting but who have no background in firearms and is expanded over the previous editions. The book emphasizes safety and proper usage of firearms, defines terms and provides practical advice about using and maintaining guns.

Book SynopsisHere, point and shoot.” These words from his father propelled Buz Fawcett’s shooting success as a child, gaining him a number of High Gun awards at local trap clubs by the time he was fourteen. Because of his success, his father awarded him his grandfather’s Model 1912 Winchester, which he mastered, even though it “kicked the whey” out of him.However, his amazing shooting abilities as a kid didn’t follow him into adulthood. Fawcett entered into what he calls his “Dark Ages” of shooting after accepting an associate editor position at Sports Afield in New York City, where he had to read and edit what other gunmen were writing about shooting techniques. Eventually, he took a position as editor of Guns & Ammo magazine, located in California. He soon found himself in a position where he could shoot as much as he liked.After a number of years and extensive research into shooting methods, Fawcett rediscovered his talents through a technique called “Instinctive Shooting.” This research and a lot of practice finally led to teaching a workshop on instinctive shooting to help others become adept at this miraculous “point and shoot” method. Instinctive Shooting is Fawcett’s guide for other gunmen, describing exactly how and what needs to be done to achieve the ultimate shooting instincts. Practical and hands-on, the book covers such topics as determining your dominant eye, achieving proper shotgun fit, how to correct point and shoot, selecting equipment, practice regimens, mounting, and much more.
