The Breech-Loader and How to Use It (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Breech-Loader and How to Use ItThis treatise is written for that numerous class of sportsmen who delight in a day's shooting, but have neither the time nor the means to make the sport a life's study. Published at a popular price, it will, it is hoped, reach many who have hitherto been deterred from shooting, believing it to be an expensive recreation. The author's aim is to induce all who can to participate in a manly sport, and to advance the interests of those who can look to the Gun for pleasure, health, or occupation.The book is not written for experts, nor for those who have special opportunities for the acquisition of the art of shooting; and in order to make it as attractive as possible to the general reader, many matters which would interest the enthusiastic shot only, have been omitted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
