Anyone else read this? I picked up a copy in a second hand book shop quite a few years ago, and it's sat on the bookshelf since.
I might take it with me to work and read it next week.

99% sure I've got this one.
Pretty much all prone stuff. Interesting notes about FAC procedure 65 years ago.

Some of the politically incorrect language is fantastic!

A true classic I dip into my copy often and I am always rewarded with some unknown or forgotten insight.
A real book that was written by some one who knew of that which they were talking instead of having authors that cannot write or have any in depth knowledge of the subject (just like modern retailers) and compensate their inadequacies with shiny photographs
Gun and shooting wisdom is thin on the ground these days.

In the wartime edition AG says golf courses should be turned into rifle ranges, bless him!
They still should!
