      PREFACE.

      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 make no claim for it, except that having received the original idea from Dr. Carver, I have demonstrated for myself and seen several friends demonstrate its practicability beyond a doubt.

      I submit it for what it may be worth.

      Horace Fletcher.

      SNAP SHOOTING DEFINED.

      Table of Contents

      ANOTHER DEFINITION.

      Table of Contents

      In snap shooting, the eye catches the target, and the attention is riveted on it, while the piece comes into line instinctively.

      In other shooting, the attention is turned from the target to the gun and sights, and after getting them in line, is returned to the target.

      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
