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.

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 succeeded in making clear the first principles 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 devices described, and in. the chapter on "the Rifleman Himself." I have also to acknowledge the generous help received in the way of suggestions from brother riflemen, 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 expressed 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 derived. Our English cousins 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 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.

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.
