About this Item

Some foxing to tope edge; else in Very Good+ condition. The dustjacket spine is sun faded; with some light chipping and edgewear. Uncommon in dustjacket. A scarce bench rest shooting volume. The editor, Townsend Whelen was an American hunter, soldier, writer, outdoorsman, and rifleman. Whelen's great passion was the great outdoors and hunting, and he undertook many expeditions into the wilderness of both North and South America, living off the land, hunting and exploring. Apart from his professional interest in the rifle as a military weapon and competitive target shooting, he also experimented with rifles and cartridges in survival and wilderness applications, using the different loads in his hunting rifles to take both small and large game while on long hunting excursions in the wilds. The comprehensive knowledge and experience reflected in Whelen's writing covered the black powder era at the end of the 1800s and spanned the transitional period into smokeless arms, resulting in the modern high velocity rifles of the 20th century.
