Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Rifle Shooting The nearest approach to such instruction is to be found in the pages of certain works on big-game shooting, but in order to have a connected manual under hand, one would need to peruse many such volumes, and to make extracts Of the requisite passages. The following few pages are designed to furnish the beginner with a series of hints, by the use of which he may be enabled not only to put himself through a course of continuous and graduated training, but may also keep himself free of the tricks which impede progress, and which, if per sisted in, will destroy his ability for any but the most artificial forms of shooting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 rifle shooting. Indeed, the idea would probably never have occurred to me had I not been asked by many brother riflemen 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 rifle shooting to the beginner, I shall be well satisfied. Perhaps the experienced rifleman may find a few helpful hints, too, in some of the original de vices described, and in the chapter on the Rifleman Himself. I have also to acknowledge the generous help re ceived in the way Of suggestions from brother rifle men, and from reading various recent English works on the subject Of rifle shooting - notably those of Tip pins and Freemantle. If the reflection 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 rifles and ammunition, and a study Of their methods cannot fail to benefit us.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rifles and Rifle Shooting The sword has been a practically useless arm all these three hundred years, yet it is car ried by military men and others simply be cause of its tremendous hold upon the imagina tion. The knight and his war-horse, his lance and his great two-handed sword are alive to day, just as they were a thousand years ago, though his immense blade has dwindled in modern hands to a mere toy to be carried on parade - for four hundred years popular imagination has kept it hung to the soldier's waist after its work was done.

Download or read book Thirty Five Years of Rifle Practice 1851 1886 Vol 1 of 6 Classic Reprint written by Cornelius D. Westbrook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thirty-Five Years of Rifle Practice, 1851-1886, Vol. 1 of 6 The improved shooting of the champion military rifles at Creedmoor justifies this inference. Their methods of loading, however, are not upon record, and the public very generally believe that the excellent shooting, of which they hear, is due to the use of a rifle of superior excellence, or to a training through years of experience, aided by exceptional natural advantages. Such was, undoubtedly, the view taken by the public of the extraordinary performances of the match rifle teams sent to Ireland some ten years since. But subsequent experience has convinced hundreds and thousands that equal, and even better shooting, was attainable with rifles, furnished by a score of manufacturers, with factory car tridges. To obtain such shooting, however, with self-loaded cartridges and self-fabricated bullets, is not quite so easy; and to turn these elegant match rifles to practical use, or to Obtain practical shooting, for the sportsman or soldier, of equal nicety from them, or from sporting or military rifles, seems to be out of the question altogether, to the public generally. And yet it is hoped that, from a perusal of these pages, such results can be attained. We have alluded to two international contests between this. Country and England. The first was in 1877, when match rifles were used. The second was in 1882, and again in 1883, when military rifles were used.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Shoot (Including Care and Preservation of the Rifle) There was a time when we could be considered a nation Of rifle shots. Early in the Revolutionary period, cer tain prisoners Of war were taken across the ocean to demonstrate the really dangerous foes we were, because of the wonderful skill at short ranges, which had been developed by the daily use of the rifle. It was the faithful friend in times of peace or war. It provided the main articles Of food for the household, and protected the fireside from intrusion. But like many another friend, when safety and plenty surrounded those early homes, and game became somewhat scarce, it was forgotten, and when remembered it was placed above the family hearth, and there revered for what it had done in the past. Rifle shooting as a diversion was later on kept alive by a few devoted lovers Of this king Of outdoor sports. Then came an era of invention which made the rifle Of today a remarkable scientific instrument. In the hands of a skillful student Of conditions it can be made to do wonders - fat greater even than driving a tack at fifty yards.

This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pistol and Revolver Shooting, Vol. 34 Interest in pistol and revolver shooting has increased very rapidly in recent years and particularly since smokeless powder has been introduced. The revolver and the magazine pistol now constitute part of the regular equipment of army and navy officers and cavalry troops. Regulations governing practice shooting with these arms have been issued and adopted by both branches of the service and by the National Guard of the various States. In the National Rifle Association and in the various State rifle associations that have recently been organized, pistol and revolver shooting has an important place, and the matches provided are largely patronized. In the numerous civilian shooting clubs scattered throughout the country pistol and revolver shooting has become extremely popular, and in many cases the majority of the members practice more frequently with the smaller arms than with the rifle. Practice with the pistol and revolver affords training in sighting, steady holding, and pulling the trigger, which are the essential features of rifle shooting also.

Download or read book The Book of the Rifle Classic Reprint written by Thomas Francis Fremantle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Rifle Many books have been written about arms and about rifles, yet so rapidly does invention move, that the subject is never exhausted. The events of the last two years have aroused a new interest in the rifle; soldiers, volunteers, civilians, all are alike keenly alive to its importance. At last we have begun to understand that the man, armed with a rifle, who is not expert in its use, is a mere mili tary fraud, and that, if he is to acquire skill, the only prescription is - a delightful pas time. I desire to acknowledge gratefully the ungrudging help of the many friends who have aided or advised me on points connected with this book. Were I to thank them separately, my preface would resemble a long bidding prayer. I would also record my warm sense of much goodwill and pleasant companionship during more than twenty-one years of rifle work, helped especially by patient and ungrudging kindness from shooting men of an older generation. There can be no finality in the evolution of firearms, at least until some quite new power of destruction shall make them obsolete. The present work, imperfect as it is, may serve to record the point which the rifle has attained at the opening of the twentieth century.
