This is a unique book in that it contains not only the fundamentals of sighting, trigger control, shooting positions, and shot placement, but many more subjects as well, those that shooters often wonder about but seldom find in the printed word.
Rifle shooters will find, for instance, information by Jack O'Connor about the shooter's eyes, trajectory and range estimation, the changing point of impact, the effects of light, mirage, and wind on accuracy, the problems of the woman shooter. They will learn the fine points of shooting running game and hitting at long range, of choosing the right rifle, cartridge, and scope, and using a rest properly, for the specialized sport of varmint hunting.
The shotgun enthusiast will delight in O'Connor's fresh approach to the problems of shotgun fit, wing shooting, and using the shotgun on big game. He'll also get a thorough groundwork in the fundamentals of mounting, aiming, and hitting with the shotgun. Trap and skeet devotees will boost their scores after reading the chapters on clay bird shooting by champion Alex Kerr, (continued on back flap)
which cover the history of the sports, choice of guns, layout of the fields, official rules for competition, and techniques for shooting at each station.
The target gunner will find solid dope by Roy Dunlap on both smallbore and big-bore shooting —all he wants to know about guns, cartridges, sights, spotting scopes, cartridge blocks, etc. A series of photographs of John A. Gierke, National Match Rifle Champion of 1965, shows how he assumes the rocksteady shooting positions he uses in competition. Gierke tells in his own words exactly how he does it. For those who are interested in precision shooting from a benchrest, there's plenty on rifles, ammunition, stocks, triggers, scopes, and bench-rest construction.
The handgunner also will find a wealth of information in this book. From Jeff: Gooper, champion marksman and veteran instructor, he'll learn about grip, stance, and position; shooting in target competition or in combat; the way to develop a fast draw from the hip or the shoulder holster; the matches and courses for competition or practice; the use of handguns on game of all kinds; and the care of handguns and safety precautions to follow when using them.
GOMPLETE BOOK OF SHOOTING is fully illustrated with meaningful photographs, drawings, diagrams, and charts.
