"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." Step-by-step guidance is
presented on how to build a comfortable and stable prone position
while wearing a jacket and sling, and the numerous photos are
include pictures taken through the sights. The author 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, and how to anticipate the effect of wind on a shot.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Originally published in 1898, this early work contains a mass of
varied and well digested information on the subject, and its value
is further enhanced by a large number of finely executed
illustrations. It contains much information that is still useful
and practical today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those
dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork.
