Hand Cannons: The World'S Most Powerful Handguns

ASIN: 0873493648

Book Description

Each year more and more hunters accept the challenge of bagging their quarry with a handgun. This book provides the information needed to hunt everything from jackrabbits to elephants.

Mark Hampton takes readers to North and South America, Africa, Australia, Asia, and Europe to discover what game is available and what kind of firepower is needed to take it. His overview of available guns, effective hunting bullet designs, ammunition, handloading, and other hunting accessories gives hunters the edge they need for success.

Covers small game such as varmints, squirrels, rabbits, impala, puma, and klipspringer, and larger game such as deer, bear, moose, caribou, boar, mountain lion, elk, antelope, wildebeest, and kudu. Also features Africa's most dangerous beasts: leopard, lion, cape buffalo, rhino, and elephant.

Hampton has hunted on each of the six continents and taken more than 100 different species of game. He also owned and operated a game-hunting ranch for nine years, hosting more than 2,500 hunters.

• Covers hunting all types of game with a handgun

• Reviews available guns, effective hunting bullet designs, reloading, and other accessories

• Suggests specific calibers for hunting small and large animals

This is the real deal........2002-08-07

Even though ýHandguns Do It Allý is on the back cover of Mark Hamptonýs new book, "Handgun Hunting", it is testament to his accomplishments. Mark has drawn from a wealth of first hand experience to produce the most comprehensive book on handgun hunting to date. Hamptonýs book is not a reloading manual, instead it is an invaluable resource for beginners, answering many questions on hunting tactics, choice of bullet, caliber, and firearm. Experienced handgunners interested in taking on new challenges will find Mark provides insights into hunting that only someone who has been there ý done that can provide as he takes the reader on hunts from Africa to Alaska and everywhere in between. There are numerous quality photographs in the book but a few close ups of some of the more unusual cartridges would have been nice for beginners making comparisons. Having hunted for over 20 years with a handgun myself I can tell you this is the real deal...

Has data for tractors only. NOt loaders or other options. Not as complete as is could be. Missing popular tractors as Kubota b7610 for a couple years. Only one example but not very complete.

This is a good reference book with pictures and prices.

Great book, great hobby.......2005-10-12

My first farm toy was my dad's Product Miniatures Farmall tractor and wagon with McCormick-Deering decals. It was his as a child and has seen its share of play. That toy was also my inspiration for the improvements included in this 2nd edition.

In creating the 2nd edition of a popular title, the most important considerations for an author are the needs of the audience. I consulted with farm toy expert Kate Bossen and other enthusiastic farm toy collectors to make this edition more comprehensive and easier to use. It contains more than 1,800 new listings and several hundred new photos bring the grand total to well over 5,000 photos. And the positive reactions from collectors this year made our efforts worthwhile.

This book is a must for farm toy collectors who like their toys in green, red, and every variety in between. Like the dedication says: "This edition is dedicated to all who participate in the farm toy hobby, to everyone who remembers that first toy tractor, and to everyone who still has that first toy tractor."

The book to buy before you buy the tractor!.......1999-04-17

Whether you're a seasoned mechanic or a neophyte who doesn't know which end of the wrench to hold, Spencer Yost's Antique Tractor Bible is a comprehensive guide to buying, using and restoring antique tractors. There is enough information here, so even if you don't intend to do your own work, you'll know how things are done and why. Additionally, the author shows how to use your antique tractor and equipment. This book is not model-specific, and the author touches on many different tractors. This is a major new resource work that will become indispensable to antique tractor owners. I wish the photographs were in color, which is a minor complaint in light of the wealth of information presented.

For expert or beginner, shop shelf or coffee table.......1999-04-16

This is a good all-round reference for restoring antique tractors. You expect a good discussion of "how-to" information on restoring old tractors. The book has that and many illustrations to help you understand particular repair techniques. Yost has included useful tips on nearly every page. These tips cut to the heart of the topic he's explaining. He also has a useful section on how to choose and operate your old machinery. A section on shows, demonstrations and pulls helps you find a way to show off your new pride and joy. Among the more useful information is a good section on further specialized references for particular tractor brands, and several pages listing parts sources for old machinery. Old-timers in the restoration business will appreciate the references, while beginners will benefit from basic explanations that more technical manuals assume you already know.

Well researched. Wished I'd had it when I got started!.......1998-10-07

Mr. Yost has done a fine job in researching, exhibiting and explaining the antique tractor hobby. So many details from "why should I be involved in the hobby?" to trailering your newly restored tractor to that favorite show are covered. He answers many of the questions most of us have learned the hard way and does it in such a way as to inspire, rather than to alarm. The book reaches out to one comtemplating the hobby of antique tractor restoration like a friendly, helping hand and performs as a lantern, guiding one through the other wise dark and mysterious avenues sometimes associated with the hobby. Mr. Yosts book is as essential a tool for the beginner, or those of us who have "been there, done that", as that old dog curled next to the shop stove and our grandfather's words of wisdom echoing in our mind as we scrape, clean, bang and paint these loveable machines which are our agricultural heritage. Three cheers for Mr. Yost!

When you're "out in the field" scouting for Farmall tractors, don't forget to take along this first-ever full-color pocket guidebook to these popular tractors!

A Very Good General Reference.......2007-03-14

I like the depth of coverage in this book. There's something on every Farmall. The general format makes it easy to use as a reference and the layout is eyecatching but not distracting. I also like that most of the tractor shown are original or correctly restored. I would have liked to see a greater depth of technical information, but that would have taken the book out of the "Field Guide" category. Pripps' historical accuracy and Morland's photography skills make a fine team.

Book Description

Contains more color photographs of more types of farm tractors than any book on the market. More than 640 photographs of tractors from the USA, Canada, Europe, and Japan. Models from the 1880s to today are presented along with detailed captions. The tractors are organized alphabetically by make so readers can find their favorites easily. All the familiar makes, such as John Deere, Ford, Farmall, Case, Caterpillar, and International Harvester; to obscure tractors that have seldom-been-seen, such as the special streamlined Porsche coffee plantation tractor that looks more like a Porsche sports car than a John Deere.
