These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Automatic Pistol Shooting - Together with Information on Handling the Duelling Pistol and Revolver: Look inside the book: As soon as you can shoot well enough to know whether bad shots are the fault of the sighting of the revolver or of your own holding, you can sight the pistol properly for yourself; and in this way you can do the sighting much more accurately, and with greater nicety, than by taking it to a gunmaker and saying: ?Alter the sights to shoot three inches higher and two to the left at twenty yards, and open the ?U? a little,? etc. ...I have made ?bulls? when the target was almost out of sight, in fact, I did so in my record shoot, at Bisley, where there used to be such a competition: but this is a bad habit to contract, and a risky sort of shot, as it is almost sure to be too far behind, or even to be fired into the shield in front of the target; though, of course, if you have not a good aim, it is better to delay as long as possible, rather than to shoot earlier with a bad aim.
