Jeff Cooper's Commentaries - hopefully this means that the Colonel is feeling better. The paragraph about his illness has disappeared from the news page. Practical shooting positions; "Knowledge is power. Learning is fun"; Who is a good shot?; The Wright R-3350 "Cyclone" engine; clumsy press nomenclature for firearms; shootability vs. accuracy; rule 3 (keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target) in evidence; shrapnel; rake of cap angle; giant sable maybe not extinct; instinctive side-turning not a good survival trait against a rifle; heavy rifles for buffalo; "the fearful efficiency of the great 50 BMG cartridge"; you can get away with it, at least some of the time; the Steyr Scout and Baby; pole arms; the loop sling; the Scout "Dragoon"; the "butter-knife" bolt; a letter from a Friscan.
