Description:

He, that rides at high speed, and with His pistol kills a sparrow flying. SHAKESPEARE :H enry IV. THEN ational Rifle Association may fairly claim the honour of introducing, at their meeting in July 1885, the subject of Military Revolver practice in this country. For years past the want of such a movement has been felt, but the many obstacles to be overcome have been so vast that no one seems to have cared to venture upon the matter, and so it has slept. The great drawback has been, and is now, to find suitable ranges anywhere near London.
