About the Book

You’ll find everything: how to pick the right cartridge for big game, master shooting techniques, choose scopes, and even care for your shotgun. Plus, there’s a history of sporting firearms, a glossary, and O’Connor’s own “Seven Lesson How to Shoot Course.” His relaxed style and field anecdotes make this a joy to read, whether you’re a hunter or a history buff.
Meet the author: Jack O’Connor
Jack O’Connor (1902 to 1978) was a legend in the world of guns and game. Born in Arizona, he started hunting at nine with a beat-up .30/30 and never looked back. By the 1960s, as Outdoor Life’s Gun Editor, he’d tested nearly every rifle and shotgun under the sun. His writing, sharp, informal, and full of grit, captured the post-war boom of outdoor sports, making him a trusted voice for hunters everywhere.
