What others are saying about "Guns, Hunting, and Shooting"
"A breath of fresh air to read someone who not only knows what he's talking about—but has been there and done that. What he has learned in 60 years is mostly common sense, so uncommon today … and so useful."
—Craig Boddington
"Insights that you won't find anywhere else—it's like a campfire chat with one of America's most experienced firearm makers. You'll learn something new on every page."
—Brad Fitzpatrick, Writer Outdoor Sportsman Group
"Elmer Keith's 'Hell I was There,' Cooper's 'Another Country,' and Townsend Whelen's 'Mr. Rifleman' were all fantastic autobiographical-like books about the lives of real honest to God gun guys. With Guns, Shooting and Hunting, Bill Wilson has added to that list of iconic books."
—Richard Mann, Shooting Editor Field and Stream
