Originally published in 1904, this rare early work on the revolver and
its use, is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. We are
now republishing it, using the original text and artwork, in a high
quality, affordable, modern edition. The author was a well known and
respected figure in the gun world of that era. He was an expert shot
with all types of firearms and was Vice-President of the National Rifle
Association and President of the Ashford Rifle Club. He also wrote "The
Art of Revolver Shooting" and "Practical Rifle Shooting." and was a
prolific contributor of shooting material to the sporting press. The
book's one hundred and thirty six pages contain many black and white
photographas and illustrations and eighteen detailed chapters: Selecting
a Revolver and Ammunition; Cleaning and Care of Weapons; Sights;
Learning to Use the Revolver; Gallery Shooting; Bisley: 20 Yards
Stationary Target; Disappearing Target; Rapid Firing; Traversing Target;
Team Shooting and Coaching; General Remarks on Shooting in Competitions;
Stage Shooting; Trick Shooting; Target Shooting Off Horseback; Shooting
in Self Defence; Revolver Shooting for Ladies; Shooting in the Dark.
This is a fascinating read for any gun enthusiast or historian, with
much of the information and advice still useful and practical today.
