This is a facsimile of the 1932 book by C. S. Landis, 22 Caliber Rifle Shooting.
In this book, Landis seeks to cover the most used firearm in America, the 22 caliber rifle. This is a treatise which explores the use of the American 22 caliber rifle for shooting at both game and paper targets and is designed to be useful to the novice rifleman plinking in the woods, the accomplished small game hunter, or the expert rifleman at one of the national small bore competitions.
Divided into two parts, the first for target shooters and the second for hunters, this books is truly comprehensive and will be of service to any 22 caliber rifle shooter, regardless of their sport of choice.
The topics covered inside this book are extensive and include everything from shooting glasses and sights to practical advice for shooting at small game and match targets.
