Book Description
The Dark Continent... made legendary by the men and their weapons who roamed its vast wilderness. Many would prove to be inadequate, falling short of the mark. But for a select few - men and weapons - history would record them as something special. Classic African Cartridges is a series of articles penned by well known authors “Ganyana” and Charlie Haley, documenting the rise of eleven classics such as the 9.3 Mauser, .404 Jeffery, .303 British,.375 H&H Magnum, 6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schoenauer, The .577/450 Martini-Henry and even the 4-bore, and the circumstances surrounding their rise to prominence. Compiled from almost two decades of material published in the African Hunter magazine, this publication is a must read. “Ganyana" is a firearms and ballistics fanatic. A former senior ecologist with the National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority with a doctorate in biology and a licensed professional hunter, his years spent in the field have resulted in volumes of data collected. Charlie Haley too, is a gun fanatic. Retiring after over twenty years' service as police CID Detective Superintendent Charlie was formerly officer commanding the Zimbabwe forensics ballistics laboratory and is widely regarded as one of the premier African experts on just about anything to do with firearms. He currently serves on the committee of the Zimbabwe Shooting Sport Federation as Chief Instructor, and is the Chief Training Officer for the Zimbabwe Professional Hunter's and Guide's Association. He has written widely for African Hunter magazine over the past two decades.

Author: Craig Boddington
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1571574077
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 638
Book Description
Gone are the days of simple-solid and softpoint-bullets for a mere dozen-and-a-half African calibers. The sheer number of products on the market today staggers the mind and bewilders even experienced hunters. Boddington presents his information in clearly explained, bite-size pieces that we can digest, and in the process he gives us a solid understanding of what works and what doesn't. Many writers proclaim their knowledge of African hunting, but few have the true in-depth experience that comes from thousands of days afield. Boddington's Safari Rifles II is a rare gem of a book, offering solid information based on vast experience and insight gathered over the last thirty years of hunting on the Dark Continent.
