Synopsis
Match Shooting With The Enfield Rifle, By A Man Of Many Ways. A Man Of Many Ways presents a practical guide to match shooting with the Enfield rifle, written for volunteers and aspirants to prize shooting. The work draws a clear line between military instruction and civilian match shooting, focusing on the Long Enfield rifle and the equipment, techniques, and discipline required for accurate sport shooting. It covers the rifle's construction, ammunition, and interchangeability, discusses sights, grooveing, fouling, loading, and trigger pull, and offers guidance on practice routines and position drills. The author emphasizes steadiness, nerve, muscular development, and calmness of mind as essential to success, and provides detailed advice on standing, kneeling, and lying positions, wind effects, and range work up to 600 yards. While addressing military-adjacent use, the text is a thorough manual on English rifle sport and the art of precision shooting during the breech-loading era.
