Rifle cleaning and maintenance.  No matter how well you can shoot, it won't do you much good it your rifle doesn't work, or you've ruined the barrel through improper cleaning.  Some people buy new rifles and get an owner's manual with the rifle.  Many of us (me included) aren't in the habit of buying new rifles for one reason or another.  For those of us who bought a nice used rifle here's a couple of videos I found.  Looking for more but this is a start.  Click on the link and it will take you to the video's:

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

—Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle
