Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The highly-readable American classic, by the definitive expert of that era. Walter W. Winans (born April 5, 1852) was a stand-out American marksman, horse breeder, sculptor, and painter who participated in the 1908 and 1912 Summer Olympics. He won two medals for shooting: a gold in 1908 and a silver in 1912, as well as demonstrating the sport of pistol duelling in the 1908 Games. He was the author of ten books on shooting, of which this was the first. The Winans range at the National Shooting Centre, Bisley, England is named after him. His book covers a wide range of history, design, developments and marksmanship technique of the revolver. It has a special focus on techniques used at the classic Bisley competitions in England during the Victorian era. Including stages that featured rapid fire, moving, and disappearing targets with valuable tips that may be of interest to 'Action Shooter' competitors. Shooters on any level will find something of value in this truly outstanding gem of shooting literature. Original book description: 1911 New Edition, Revised and enlarged Mr. Walter Winans, the well-known champion revolver-shot, has been for many years working out the theory and practice of revolver shooting, and this is the first occasion of his publishing the collected results of his close study of the weapon. Although several chapters of the book give minute instructions as to how to shoot in order to win prizes at the Bisley meeting, the author has not neglected the more general and practical side of the subject, and even such matters (hitherto regarded in the light of professional secrets) as trick- and stage-shooting, shooting in the dark, etc., are treated in detail not previously attempted, while a chapter on how to use the revolver (as distinct from target shooting) in warfare, has a present interest that must appeal to many.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Revolver Shooting: Together With All Information Concerning the Automatic and Single-Shot Pistol, and How to Handle Them to the Best Advantage I do not think that anyone who takes up pistol and revolver shooting - for other than man-killing purposes will ever regret it. It is not only morally and physically a healthy sport, but it teaches self-reliance, coolness, and the control of one's temper, which last such amusements as croquet and golf, for instance, certainly do not. Pistol shooting is also an accomplishment always useful and sometimes of vital importance. It is thus unlike croquet, cricket, lawn-tennis, golf, and all other games which develop skill only in forms that cannot be of practical use. It may be objected that the games I condemn are useful as exercises for the development of the body; but there are plenty of forms of sports - shooting, hunting, swimming, polo, bicycling, ' and so on - which give just as good, or better, exercise, yet at the same time teach skill in some thing useful instead of in mere play fit only for boys.
