A Classic Handbook for Hunting Firearms Maintenance, Mechanics, and Use

This unabridged reprint Legacy Edition of Horace Kephart's Sporting Firearms is a classic handbook on shotgun and rifle shooting mechanics for hunting and field sports. Originally published in 1912, the author of the famous Book of Camping and Woodcraft discusses maintenance and use of firearms for hunting, as well as multiple tips and tricks to make the most out of your hunting field trip. Over 100 years old, this antique manual is a wonderful study on the long-lived history of hunting, target shooting, marksmanship.

This comprehensive guidebook for outdoors enthusiasts and hunters includes chapters on rifles and shotguns for the field, hunting technique and etiquette, the physics of firearms and their mechanisms and construction, sights, shot patterns, gauges and weights, and general operation and maintenance. Every hunter and target marksman will find this historic study worth reading, despite its age!

This vintage book includes timeless knowledge about hunting and life outdoors. Although this book represents thought from a former time, it also reveals much about the rich history of outdoors recreation, and many of the tips, tricks, and discussions are still relevant for study today!

About the Doublebit Press Legacy Editions

Sometimes we need to remember our history to move forward. Sometimes, remembering our heritage is just fun or inspirational. With technology playing a major role in everyday life, sometimes we need to take a step back in time to find those basic building blocks used for gaining mastery - the things that we have luckily not completely lost and has been recorded in books over the last two centuries. These skills aren't forgotten, they've just been shelved. It's time to unshelve them once again and reclaim the lost knowledge of self-sufficiency!

As a part of the Doublebit Press Legacy Edition Collection, this unabridged volume is reprinted in the exact form as it was presented in the original publication. Both important and minor details have equally both been accounted for by our publishing staff, down to the cover, font, layout, and images. It is the goal of Doublebit Legacy Edition series to preserve outdoors heritage, but also be cherished as collectible pieces, worthy of collection in any handcrafter's or outdoorsperson's library and that can be passed to future generations.
