5.0 out of 5 stars A classic, no longer in print, June 5, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Book of Rifles and Shotguns, With a Seven-Lesson Rifle Shooting Course (Hardcover)
This is a classic book by a classic author. The book covers the early development of gunpowder and shoulder fired arms and explains the evolution into the modern cartridge and rifle. There are several chapters devoted to the components of the rifle and ammunition, bullet selection, and sights. This book was written more for the hunter rather than the target shooter, therefore much of the information is applicable to selecting the proper equipment for hunting specific game and/or terrain. The exception is within the seven-lesson rifle shooting course. This section gives more than just elementary instruction. The author gave a lot of insight and experience for the novice or experienced shooter. The chapters devoted to the use of the shotgun cover all the key topics such as sight picture, stock fit, proper patterning procedure, and much more.

The reason I like the book so much and rate it so highly is for the quality and quantity of information it contains. It was well written and easy to read for the beginner not familiar with terminology related to shooting and firearms. It contains what it should. Sage experience and advice while entertaining. It is a book you can read again many times and still enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm hesitant to share this secret., July 2, 2011

This review is from: Complete Book of Rifles and Shotguns, With a Seven-Lesson Rifle Shooting Course (Hardcover)
If you have ANY interest in rifles and shotguns, this book NEEDS to be in your collection. It's worth buying just for the chapter on learning how to sight in a rifle. And since you can buy a copy here for less than $10, there's no reason not to buy. Well written, easy to understand, and very thorough in its coverage of topics related to long arms.

I can't recommend this enough.
