Item description from seller

Previous owner name; a bright, fresh copy. A reprint edition; originally published in 1864. Heaton's detailed study of the problems of light an shade and the effect these have, not only on the target but also on the open sights of Enfield, are of the greatest value to the many modern shooters of these historical rifles. With discussion on qualifications requisite to make a good shot, positioning (including shooting from the back position), dress, training, sights, aiming, ammunition, loading, method of cleaning a rifle, wind and allowances, light, atmosphere, keeping notes, description and peculiarities of the principal rifle ranges in Great Britain, and more. Heaton also describes a number of small-bore rifles: Baker, Beasley, Bissell, Crockart, Edge, Henry, Kerr, Lancaster, Newton, Parsons, Rigby, Turner and Whitworth. Heaton served in the 14th Foot (West Yorkshire Regiment) and was considered one of the great rifle shots from the earliest days of the Volunteer Movement of the National Rifle Association. A sought after and uncommon title.
