"Elephant hunting literature is rich and varied and has brought forth some of the most memorable writings on Africa ever. However, very little is ever written on modern elephant hunting. And strange as it may seem, many of the largest elephants shot in the history of Africa have actually been shot in the last fifty years. While shooting a hundred-pounder is now a very rare occurrence, it may fairly be said that the average weight of ivory shot on safari has risen and risen over the last fifteen years, bringing with it a period that might well be called the renaissance of elephant hunting. Each year the trophies get better, and the total population keeps on rising. Craig Boddington has been fortunate enough to have shot elephants in some of Africa's modern hot spots, including Mozambique, southern Tanzania, Botswana, and Namibia. Not only has he shot some very respectable trophies that are considered "trophy elephants" by any standard, old or new, but he has also taken his share of cows and nontrophy pachyderms." Chapters include: When giants walked; The end of the game; A new beginning; The hunting imperative; Why should you hunt elephants?; The African elephant; Drop twenty pounds; Judging ivory; Elephant country today; Tracks, trackers and tracking; The approach; Elephant rifles and cartridges; Penetration and bullet performance; Shooting and shot placement; Botswana; Mozambique; Namibia; Tanzania; Zimbabwe; Other opportunities; The most dangerous game; Are there hundred-pounders?; Looking ahead. .…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 2nd Edition. Trade Edition, 374 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Well illustrated. It was Townsend Whelen who said, "Only accurate rifles are interesting." This must be one of the great truisms of the rifle-shooting world. While there certainly are a great many experienced riflemen in the USA today, few can match Boddington's experience with the variety of calibers, actions, makes, and bullets that he has shot over the last three-plus decades. That experience is why this book is such an important contribution to the literature of the hunting/shooting world. Starting with the barrel, Boddington steps us through every single element that makes an accurate (or not so accurate) rifle. These elements include the different actions; stocks, bedding, and vibrations; good-quality triggers and how to control them; the variables in cartridge design; factory ammo; handloading for serious accuracy (by Paul Massaro); the accuracy of the various bullet designs; breaking-in a rifle; open sights; and scopes and mounts. Boddington delves into good shooting positions; rests; how to shoot long range, and a host of other serious topics that will improve your shooting with a rifle. Ultimately, he discusses the single biggest factor of all as far as accuracy is concerned - the human element. Nobody will shoot all brands of rifles, all different calibers, and all types of bullets, and nobody will experience all the different circumstances that one can encounter in the field or on the bench, but with his experience, Boddington comes close. There are darn few people on this earth who have gathered as much experience with sporting rifles for all these elements as he has. Boddington must rank as one of the most knowledgeable authors who currently write on the subject. An outstanding new title from Craig Boddington.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 2nd Edition. Trade Edition, 338 pages. All color photographs. So much has been written about the elephant hunters of yesteryear that there is a niche of collectors who only concentrate on this genre. And rightly so, as elephant hunting literature is rich and varied and has brought forth some of the most memorable writings on Africa ever. However, very little is ever written on modern elephant hunting. And strange as it may seem, many of the largest elephants shot in the history of Africa have actually been shot in the last fifty years. And while shooting a hundred pounder is now a very rare occurrence, it may fairly be said that the average weight of ivory shot on safari has risen and risen over the last fifteen years, bringing with it a period that might well be called the renaissance of elephant hunting. Each year the trophies get better, and the total population keeps on rising. Craig Boddington has been fortunate enough to have shot elephants in some of Africa's modern hot spots, including Mozambique, southern Tanzania, Botswana, and Namibia. Not only has he shot some very respectable trophies that are considered "trophy elephants" by any standard, old or new, but he has also taken his share of cows and nontrophy pachyderms. These totals afford true experience. So here is a book on how elephants are hunted today and where the best place are to find them. Included are stories about hunts that any one of us could experience. An outstanding new title. Language: eng Language: eng Language: eng Language: eng Language: eng.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 2nd Edition. Trade Edition, 315 pages. Almost everyone who is interested in hunting rifles has read a book on the subject by Craig Boddington. He has written about everything from iron-sighted elephant rifles built for shots of 40 yards or less to long-range varmint rifles made for sniping prairie dogs at 400 yards. But what guns and calibers are his own personal favorites? Which ones does he reach for again and again? This is something very few people knew--until now. In his latest book, Craig walks us through each and every one of his personal favorites, from his go-to varmint rifle to his beloved deer rifle to his trusty buffalo killer. Unlike most of his rifle books, this one focuses on just eight calibers and eight rifles. Mind you, his favorite rifles are not always chambered in his favorite calibers, as has happened to all of us. In this concise book you will learn why he prefers what some may think of as plain-vanilla calibers, and you'll discover that his favorite rifles are not all super-expensive pieces of gunsmithing art from high-end makers In fact some of his favorite rifles are out-of-the-box models made right here in the USA. Of course, Craig has done the work necessary to ensure each rifle is optimized to shoot at its very best, taking special pains with the trigger, bedding and telescopic sights. There are, however, some very fine rifles made by one of America's top gunsmiths. Craig's "favorites" list contains all sorts of actions, including a classic double rifle, one with a great and illustrious history. As for calibers, Craig likes his rifles to pack a good punch in order to make a quick kill, but do not expect to see discussions of calibers that generate enough foot-pounds to upend a Russian tank. Like any other sensible hunter, Craig is interested in keeping the filling in his teeth, and his caliber choices are eminently practical. An excellent new title from Craig Boddington.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 2nd Edition. 308 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Craig Boddington is not only today's best known writier on hunting in Africa, but also no hunter alive has accomplished all that Craig has in his pursuit of the African Buffalo. He has successfully hunted and shot all varieties of African buffaloes--Cape, Nile, Central African, West African, and dwarf forest buffalo--and he has also used more calibers, bullets, and various types of firearms and sights in his pursuit of the buffalo than any other person alive. Buffalo hunting in modern Africa has evolved tremendously in the last twent years, and the changes have only accelerated in the last ten years. It was not that long ago that Mozambique had almost no huntable buffaloes and Uganda was closed to hunting. Nowadays, Mozambique is possibly the largest buffalo destination in Africa, and as for Uganda it has a vibrant program with high quality Nile buffaloes shot each year. South Africa twenty years ago had very rew buffaloes, so hunting for them was restricted; today this country is on its way to becoming a serious buffalo destination. Boddington has hunted in all these places any many more since he wrote Buffalo!, and since much has changed, both in terms of destinations, firearms, and ballistics, an update was urgently needed. Buffalo II! is the answer. In his new book, Craig gives great information on hunting "swamp buffalo" from Mozambique, and he discusses the importance of buffalo sustainability for generations to come--the how, where, and why of looking for an aged buffalo bull with hard bosses. He also shares his experience with a true, full-blown, pressing-it-home, you-or-him buffalo charge, which is--thankfully--actually very rare. Until recently Craig had never experienced on so his recollection is firsthand and vivid. The buffalo charge Craig faced was unprovoked, quick, and nearly lethal. In other chapters Craig discusses where to look today to find that optimum buffalo hunt. Besides chapters on tracking, rifles, and calibers, there are great anecdotes and stories in Buffalo II! Want to hunt buffalo? Be prepared before you go by learning about buffalo hunting in every nook and cranny of twenty-first century Africa. BuffaloII! is simply the best resource available for planning your first, second, or next buffalo safari. Outstanding.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 429 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. A great book on what guns to take on Safari. Not since John Taylor's African Rifles has there been such a comprehensive book on rifles and calibers for Africa. This is an information book of enormous proportions. What you will gain from this book is a wealth of knowledge on the safari rifle: historical and present double-rifle makers, ballistics for the large bores, what today's professjonal hunters use, the ideal one-, two-, and three-rifle safari set up, bullets, components, second-hand dealers, and much, much more. If you ever wanted a comprehensive book on guns for Africa, this is it! Boddington, who is a veteran of over twenty safaris, has garnered his wealth of experience into writing this book. Not only is this a book on the technical aspects of safari rifles and cartridges, it is also a wealth of information on which guns are the best to use on which animals. Furthermore, he explains why his experience has led him to the conclusions he has drawn. Finally, Boddington has put together in the five appendices an invaluable directory to gun makers, a table of the guns professional hunters most often use, and a list of what guns professional hunters recommend that their clients bring on safari. This is quite the most complete and fascinating text on its subject to be published in the last two decades--and one that is sure to become a classic.…

No other continent on earth has as many varieties of big game and as much diversified terrain as Africa.
