Practical Guide to Manowered Bullets Review

If, like me, you are an unapologetic fan of human-powered projectile launchers: airguns, blowguns, slingshots, bows - you will enjoy the heck out of Richard Middleton's The Practical Guide to Man-Powered Bullets.
At almost every page, I found myself going "Aha!" because Middleton writes in such an entertaining and educational way, presenting both theory and practice, unexpected bits of information, experiments you can do yourself, and a lot else besides.
The are 12 chapters in all, including two on crossbows, one on catapults (slingshots), one of blowpipes (blowguns), four on airguns (high pressure and low pressure, both practical and theoretical), and others on compound bows, velocity measurement, and ammunition.
I found this book a delight to read, and a treat for the "big kid" in me. Highly recommended.

This book was actually written by Richard Middleton and was first published in England. Stackpole published the first American edition in 2006 under the title "The Practical Guide to Man-Powered Bullets". The book was recently reissued by Skyhorse Publishing. It's a very good book. The first review appears to have been written by the publisher, as all of his other reviews are of Skyhorse books. Despite this, it's really a great book, but the emphasis is on tension and gas weapons, not "musketballs". Great treatment of stone and pellet bows, slingshots, and homemade airguns.
