    Table of Contents

    My object in publishing this little book is to explain a method of teaching Snap Shooting, by using the rifle in practice, which, by its economy, ease, quickness, and fascination, will recommend itself to any who are desirous of becoming skillful in the use of firearms.

    It is true that by this method almost any one can make himself a good snap shot in a few weeks or months, according to the amount of practice indulged in, and that too at very small cost.

    I submit it for what it may be worth.

    The practice of snap shooting does not interfere with aiming at leisure, but aiming at leisure unfits one for snap shooting.

    When the face is in danger, the hand comes before it instinctively to protect it; and in the same manner when
