Old book, covers a lot on the 1903 Springfield.
It's a classic book by one of the best shooters we've ever had.
Check out his advice on how to change your standing position when shooting in windy conditions.
Lots of good marksmanship info, from a rifleman of a few generations back...it's been cited on our forum some time back, but likely there's a lot of new people who missed it.
Many thanks for the book referral . Ordered and on its way..always something new to learn. Love it.

CTW was more than just about marksmanship. He embodied the true spirit of a Rifleman and was well aware of how a Rifleman could steer a Nation to prosperity and freedom.
"I am trying to make our country a nation of Rifleman who will forever command peace, who will preserve the sanctity of our homes, and who will conserve our game for the sportsmanship use of themselves, their sons, and their grandsons."-Col. Townsend Whelen, May 1932.

Did you notice that on page 73 he says to keep your eye on the target and not on the front or rear sights?
