Sporting Firearms

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. To prove a gun thoroughly, it must be tested both on the range and in the field. Nobody can tell from field shooting alone just What a gun's shooting qualities are; nor can anybody tell much about its killing power and serviceability until he has used it a good deal on game.
