4.0 out of 5 stars Marksmanship with Rifles--A Basic Guide, June 9, 2000

By	Julianna Wallingford (Boulder, Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Marsmanship with Rifles is appropriately subtitled. This slim (65 page) book is an excellent guide for the beginning shooter who wishes to learn more about rifles before making a purchase, or an intermediate rifleman who wants to learn more about the sport. The author has included sections on the different types of rifles, sighting systems, firing postions, and types and caliber of ammunition. His clear, concise explanations are accompanied by a number of black-and-white photographs. Unfortunately, while the photos are very helpful, they have a dark, grainy character that makes them look as though they were printed on a photocopier set to extra dark. Readers may find the two-page glossary helpful, although the four pages of study questions at the end did more to reinforce the feeling of the book as a primer than to reinforce the content. Perhaps the book is intended as material for an NRA class, since the last chapter is about that organization. While the book explains some choices of certain rifles for hunting, I as a nonhunter would have appreciated a discussion of competitions available to riflemen, a topic the author completely neglected.
