Mr. Winans has earned for himself an international reputation on the art of rifle- and revolver-shooting, and his earlier works on the subject have been accepted as standards. The present work is profusely ill.u.s.trated, both by the author, T. Blinks, and other well-known artists, and gives the fullest details with diagrams as to how to handle the rifle for all sorts of game shooting, and also for winning prizes in shooting compet.i.tions at moving targets. Besides ill.u.s.trating the various makes of rifles, there is a unique set of working drawings showing in minute detail how to construct "Running Deer" and disappearing targets. Maps and plans giving directions how to post the guns for Deer Driving, and how to manoeuvre the beaters is also featured in this important work. The natural history is ill.u.s.trated by a series of photographs taken from life by H. Penfold.

Although perhaps better known as a rifle and revolver shot and as the author of many informing books on different kinds of shooting, Mr. Winans is a sculptor of distinction, having been awarded gold and silver medals for his statues of horses. In the present volume Mr. Winans reproduces ill.u.s.trations of many familiar masterpieces of animal sculpture, showing that many of them, although superficially effective, are marred by serious faults of conception and execution.
