To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If it has been sighted to strike cen- ter at 200 yards, it will shoot far above these limits at the short distances here mentioned, no matter how powerful may be the charge. Let me give an ex- ample, to show how easily one can be fooled in such matters : Here is a high-power rifle. The initial velocity of its bullet is 2,000 feet a second ; trajectory 5h inches at 100 yards, when shot 200 yards. At the factory the sights have been set for the latter distance, by aiming with top of bead just tou...ching bottom of an eight-inch bull's-eye. In other words, the gun shoots four inches MARKSMANSHIP IN THE WOODS 95 above the point actually aimed at. Now, at 100 yards this gun will shoot two inches too high, plus the tra- jectory (5^ inches), minus sight allowance (angle of line of aim to line of fire depending upon height of front sight above axis of bore — say one-half-inch al- lowance midway of range) — that is to say, this rifle shoots seven inches too high at 100 yards! Is that ''£ractically point-blank " ?
