This is one of them."--David E. Petzal, deputy editor, Field & Stream "In 1972, I wrote a book called The .22 Rifle that was a modest, bare-bones guide for kids and new shooters. If my little volume was a dish of plain vanilla, Wayne van Zwoll's new .22 book is a 7,500-calorie banana split. "--David E. Petzal, deputy editor, Field & Stream<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Wayne van Zwoll has published more than a thousand articles about the outdoors, for magazines such as Sports Afield, Outdoor Life, and Field & Stream. He is the author of The Hunter's Guide to Ballistics and The Hunter's Guide to Accurate Shooting, among others.
