Excerpt: ... are habitual smokers, so that it would be too much to say that any man who smokes cannot shoot; but it is generally admitted that a man who eschews the weed is more likely to shoot well than one who uses it, although this is very much a matter of constitution. Anyhow, if a man is accustomed to smoke, he should smoke his usual quantity on the day of a competition, and not leave it off for the day, as such a course is apt to disturb his normal condition--which is, of course, a thing to be avoided. Another point, while upon this subject, which should be stated, is that, if a man usually smokes "Eeturns," it will be very unadvisable on his part to smoke " Cavendish," or " Shag," or a cigar just before a competition. "Nips." It is not advisable for a man who is not habituated to it "to irrigate," as the Yankees say, just before shooting, as the act of taking a nip of spirits has, in such cases, an effect contrary to that desired, and a man who cannot shoot without "Dutch courage" should not shoot at all. Still, many of our Northern brethren like a "drap o' Whusky"--and truly the results they secure at Wimbledon, as a rule, show that it does them no harm, but rather the reverse--and probably those who are accustomed to it will find no ill effects from a wee " nip; " but it is to be hoped that the younger shots, on whose behoof these pages are principally written, are not so well seasoned in this respect, and therefore it is well that they should beware ere they take spirits just before shooting, under the impression that it will give them nerve and steadiness, for this it will most assuredly not do. A glass of beer half an hour or so before shooting will not, as a rule, do any harm, and it may even in many cases do good, but the practice of...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smallbore Rifle Shooting is essential reading for those who are considering taking up the sport, and for those who already have some experience but wish to improve their skills and participate in competitions. It takes the reader forward from the point at which the very first shot is fired, introduces new levels of understanding and competence, provides useful advice, and answers many of the questions frequently asked by beginners.The key topics, which are examined in detail, include breathing, aiming, trigger control and 'follow through'. In addition, step-by-step guidance is presented on how to build a comfortable and stable prone position whilst wearing a jacket and sling. All through the book photographs, including pictures taken through the sights to show exactly what is being described, support the theory. The author also presents practice exercises that help demonstrate the different techniques. For people looking to progress beyond indoor practice shooting, there is an explanation of types of competition, how to enter events, as well as introduction to competing outdoors and learning how to anticipate the effect of the wind on a shot.Whilst other shooting books may focus on the detailed skills used by those who compete at an international level, this book offers guidance for those at the beginner to intermediate levels.Foreword by Nick Clark.

Download or read book How to Shoot the U S Army Rifle written by Arthur Goodfriend and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Shoot the U.S. Army Rifle, first published in 1943, was the official manual for new infantrymen on holding, sighting, and shooting the legendary M1 Garand .30 caliber rifle. The manual incorporated everything the new soldier needed to know to become a proficient marksman with the M1. Illustrated throughout with photographs and drawings, the book remains a useful reference for anyone wanting to learn more about using the M1 and for rifle shooting in general. From the Foreword:The U.S. Army Rifle-be it the M1903 (Springfield), M1917 (Enfield), or M1 (Garand)-has the range, caliber, power, and accuracy to kill the enemy. All that is required is a soldier well enough trained in rifle marksmanship to hit the enemy in the right places. The U.S. Army believes in this training. Its rifle marksmanship course is the most thorough in the world. In the last war, the deadliness of American marksmanship amazed both our Allies and our enemies. In this war, reports from far-flung battlefields reveal that the hours of marksmanship training in our camps have not been spent in vain. Deadly marksmanship depends on correct shooting habits. In stress of battle, you must do the right things without thinking about them. You must know the correct sight picture. You must take a rock-steady position. You must squeeze the trigger. You must shoot rapidly. And all the while, your sights must be correctly set for range, wind, and weather. How to do these things the right way is shown on the following pages. Pictures and text are taken from the U.S. Army's graphic portfolio on rifle marksmanship. They apply, with minor modifications, to the M1903, M1917 and M1 rifles. The method is that developed by The Infantry School for the semiautomatic M1 rifle, a method that enables you to get the most out of any rifle you may ever have to shoot. Put aside your own ideas on rifle shooting for the duration of the war. Where life and death, victory or defeat, depend on the result, it is wise to follow this method. It is based on countless hours of test and trial, on the range and the battlefield. Every detail in these pictures is important. Study them carefully. A few minutes with this book in your bunk before going out on the drill field will make your work easier. A little time spent on review before firing on the range will mean more bull's-eyes. Later these lessons, well learned, will cause many a Nazi and Jap to echo the words of that German in the last war who, dying, wrote: "God save us from these Americans. They shoot like devils . . . They are the best marksmen in the world."
