Excerpt from Rifle Training for War The armistice is signed and peace is coming, but rifle training in peace is not different from rifle training in war. The one is reasonable preparation, the other immediate necessity. Both have the same object when we are considering military training. This training may be divided into two parts: First, the training of the individual; second, the training of the leaders and their units in collective fire. It is the purpose of this publication to treat only of individual training, and it will begin with a discussion of its theory and relative importance. Before the war there grew up a theory, based largely upon German precept if not propaganda, to the effect that individual rifle training was unimportant if not a military detriment. It was variously stated that "Expert riflemen will not make as many hits in war as will average shots;" that "Individual instruction should not be given at ranges greater than 500 yards;" that "Such training as the soldier receives on the target range plays but a minor part;" that "At 900 yards poor marksmen will obtain 10 times as many hits as good marksmen;" that "When the range is unknown the superior skill of the excellent marksman works to his positive disadvantage;" and that, firing in modern battle, is "often conducted at ranges of 2,000 yards or even more."

Excerpt from Notes on Training for Rifle Fire in Trench Warfare: Compiled From Foreign Reports; Army War College, April, 1917 The above are simply a few instances to suggest to the in structor how to go about the matter of instruction. Many men will be already familiar with the subject, and the method may be abridged, but in the case of an entirely uninstructed man a step-by-step method of instruction must be followed. The train ing should be such that it will be an entirely natural matter for the sniper to observe and report as to.

This British manual was originally produced for civilians and new soldiers, going off to fight in World War I. It covers the use of the Lee-Enfield (or SMLE) service rifle and has many useful tips on using it.
Excerpt from Practical Rifle Shooting The nearest approach to such instruction is to be found in the pages of certain works on big-game shooting, but in order to have a connected manual under hand, one would need to peruse many such volumes, and to make extracts Of the requisite passages. The following few pages are designed to furnish the beginner with a series of hints, by the use of which he may be enabled not only to put himself through a course of continuous and graduated training, but may also keep himself free of the tricks which impede progress, and which, if per sisted in, will destroy his ability for any but the most artificial forms of shooting.

Excerpt from Thirty-Five Years of Rifle Practice, 1851-1886, Vol. 1 of 6 The improved shooting of the champion military rifles at Creedmoor justifies this inference. Their methods of loading, however, are not upon record, and the public very generally believe that the excellent shooting, of which they hear, is due to the use of a rifle of superior excellence, or to a training through years of experience, aided by exceptional natural advantages. Such was, undoubtedly, the view taken by the public of the extraordinary performances of the match rifle teams sent to Ireland some ten years since. But subsequent experience has convinced hundreds and thousands that equal, and even better shooting, was attainable with rifles, furnished by a score of manufacturers, with factory car tridges. To obtain such shooting, however, with self-loaded cartridges and self-fabricated bullets, is not quite so easy; and to turn these elegant match rifles to practical use, or to Obtain practical shooting, for the sportsman or soldier, of equal nicety from them, or from sporting or military rifles, seems to be out of the question altogether, to the public generally. And yet it is hoped that, from a perusal of these pages, such results can be attained. We have alluded to two international contests between this. Country and England. The first was in 1877, when match rifles were used. The second was in 1882, and again in 1883, when military rifles were used.
