Synopsis
A practical guide to handling a rifle for real-world, moving targets. This edition distills Walter Winans’s approach to turning beginners into capable, responsible marksmen. It emphasizes practical skills over pure target shooting, with an eye to safety, accuracy, and humane hunting practice.
The book lays out a clear path from the absolute beginner to reliable field technique. It discusses choosing equipment, starting with a lightweight .22 rim-fire to avoid recoil, and then advancing through sighting, trigger control, stance, and eye alignment. It also covers practical advice for deer stalking, game mounting considerations, and how to adapt technique for moving targets and quick shots. The aim is to equip readers with skills they can use in real hunting or field shooting, not just in the range.
- How to select a suitable rifle, cartridge, and trigger pull for beginners.
- Step-by-step guidance on sighting, stance, and aiming when targets move.
- Practical tips for deer stalking, field shooting, and decision-making in the moment.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This is a facsimile of "Practical Rifle Shooting," originally published in 1906. There are many excellent works to be had on the subject of rifle shooting at targets, but this book is designed to teach practical rifle shooting. By practical rifle shooting, it is meant the capacity to so handle a rifle that the user can confidently expect to stop a wild animal even if in rapid motion and charging. The pages of this book are designed to furnish the beginner with a series of hints, by the use of which he may be enabled not only to put himself through a course of continuous and graduated training, but may also keep himself free of the tricks which impede progress, and which, if persisted in, will destroy his ability for any but the most artificial forms of shooting.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, published in the early 20th century, delves into the art and science of practical rifle shooting, going beyond the confines of traditional target practice. The author, an expert marksman and advocate for rifle proficiency, challenges the prevailing notion that rifle shooting is solely a matter of stationary targets and deliberate aim. He argues that true skill lies in the ability to handle a rifle with speed and accuracy, particularly when engaging moving targets, whether it be in hunting or self-defense. The author emphasizes the importance of mastering a range of shooting techniques, beginning with basic exercises at short ranges using a small-caliber rifle. He then progressively introduces more complex scenarios, such as shooting at moving targets, objects thrown into the air, and even clay pigeons. He also examines different types of sights and their advantages and disadvantages, particularly for rapid aiming. The bookââ â¢s insights on practical rifle shooting reflect the growing awareness of the importance of firearms proficiency in the early 20th century, a period marked by advancements in rifle technology and the rise of organized shooting sports. The authorââ â¢s emphasis on speed and accuracy, as opposed to mere target practice, resonates with the demands of hunting, self-defense, and even military warfare. This book offers a unique perspective on the practical application of rifle shooting, and its insights remain relevant for enthusiasts and professionals alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
