Item description from seller

Edge and margin dampstained, some damp peeling, light edgewear, endpapers toned, owner's name stamp, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover. ; "The name of Walter Guy Hudson has been closely linked with the development of the shooting game for the past twenty years. The Hudson Bullet, and the Hudson Formula, will long stand as monuments of his memory. He was the first rifleman to successfully work out reduced loads for high power rifles, he was the author of one of the first books dealing with practice with high power military rifles, he was instrumental in the development of modern .22 calibre powders and powders for .30 calibre loads, and was a member of many famous rifle teams. Doctor Hudson, in the memories of many, will linger as the embodiment of everything that makes for the perfect rifleman. Possessed of a keen mind and trained to intelligently experiment and to conduct ballistic researches, his conclusions bore great weight in the councils of riflemen. His nerve in a tight place was proverbial, and while he rarely met defeat in his specialty-off-hand shooting -when he did, he was a splendid looser. He was one of the dominant figures in the older generation of riflemen, and the shooting game will feel the loss of him." - Arms and the Man, page 8, VOL LXVIII, No. 7, November 15, 1920. Dr Hudson was DuPont's first in-house physician, specializing in industrial diseases and poisons. Laid in is an undated newspaper clipping of Dr Hudson winning the Wingate Match. First Edition of this classic work on marksmanship. ; 155, (5) pages.…
