Rifle shooters will learn the fundamentals of sighting, trigger control, positions, and shot placement, as only Jack O'Connor can teach them. And there is also valuable information about the shooter's eyes, trajectory and range estimation, the changing point of impact, the effects of light, mirage, and wind on accuracy. Here are the fine points of shooting running game and hitting at long range, choosing the right cartridge, rifle, and scope, and using a rest properly, for the specialized sport of varmint hunting.
Shotgun enthusiasts will get a thorough groundwork in the fundamentals of mounting, aiming, and hitting with the shotgun, plus all of O'Connor's savvy on stock fit, wing shooting, and even big-game hunting. For trap and skeet shooters, there are informative chapters by former champion Alex Kerr on the history of the sports, choice of guns, layout of fields, official rules, and techniques for shooting at each station."
