To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For instance, a greenhorn, in seeking cover, would naturally choose the slope of a hill away from the enemy, when a trained infantryman would know that he would be in greater safety on the other side of that hill where he would be closer to the enemy, but within that range where the enemy's bullets would travel in a flat trajectory and give him a chance to take advantage of the safety afforded by the slightest depression in the ground rather than remain behind that hill to suffer the long-range... plunging fire of the enemy. How little does the ordinary citizen realize the difficulty of becom- ing a sharpshooter or expert in the use of the military rifle ? Most of us have a vague impression that accurate shooting means merely straight pointing. The ordinary layman has little conception, for instance, of the influence of a slight wind on the course of a rifle bullet at a thousand yards' range. For accurate long-distance shooting this influence of wind upon the bullet must be accurately estimated and allowed for by a graduated instrument on the rifle called a wind gauge, and success or failure in sharpshooting and sniping may well depend upon the accuracy or inaccuracy with 11 which the problem of windage is solved.
