A Little Gem!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Shooting With the Rifle (Paperback)
The definitive text from the "Grand Old Man of Rifle Shooting."Originally published in a series of 8 letters for 'Land and Water,' this booklet collected the letters together and was published in 1888. Of particular interest for the long range marksman, either breeech-loading or muzzle-loading, it includes notes on position, atmospheric conditions, the match rifle and lots more. A little gem!
