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.
A focus on safety, preparation, and reliable handling in the field.

Ideal for readers seeking a practical, hands-on approach to rifle shooting and field sport, from novices to those expanding into real-world shooting scenarios.
