Description
Excerpt from Modern Rifle Shooting: From the American Standpoint
It is not without some misgiving that I venture on this, my first attempt to'' write a book on ri?e shooting. Indeed, the idea would probably never have occurred to me had I not been asked by many brother ri?emen to put into writing the numerous small matters I have at various times investigated, both for their interest and my own. Undoubtedly, much will be found in these pages that is ancient history to more experienced shooters, but if I have succeed-cd in making clear the first prin ciples Of ri?e shooting to the beginner, I shall be well satisfied. Perhaps the experienced ri?eman may find a few helpful hints, too, in some of the original de vices described, and in the chapter on the Ri?eman Himself.
I have also to acknowledge the generous help re ceived in the way Of suggestions from brother ri?e men, and from reading various recent English works on the subject Of ri?e shooting - notably those of Tip pins and Freemantle. If the re?ection of my study Of these works shows itself in some of the thoughts ex pressed in the following pages, I can only say that I am not ashamed to freely acknowledge the source from which a great deal of useful information has been de rived. Our English cous''ins have.had at least five years more experience than we in the matter of high power ri?es and ammunition, and a study Of their methods cannot fail to benefit us.
