Excerpt from Letters to Young Shooters: On the Choice and Use of a Gun Certainly, the modern Shooter has every possible convenience in the capabilities of his gun. Accuracy of aim is about all that he requires - a great advan tage over his ancestors, who were obliged to go through all manner of manipulations with their guns before the skill of actual aiming had to be considered.
