Some of the photos in here include Lanny Bassham (1972 Olympic Silver Medalist, 1976 Gold), John "Jack" Writer (1968 Silver, 1972 Gold), Lones Wigger (2 time Gold Medalist (1964 and 1972 and a 1964 Silver).  More importantly there is good advice relevant to both International Fullbore and Smallbore and precsions shooting in general.

Be prepared for some focused reading and also a glimpse into a time when the US ruled the International Shooting community.  You can learn alot from this 135 page book.

Great Point!
Even the current International Guide has a lot more great stuff than the service rifle guide does...Gary Anderson recommends it.

We should probably mention that the current International and Service Rifle Guides are available from CMP www.odcmp.com in the E-Store.

Texas Rifleman,

You're welcome. I just hope that this information can be of use to people. Tax dollars paid to develop this information and these methods. We can learn from them and use them to good effect on the lines at Appleseed.
