I learned how to hit stuff at long range with a handgun directly from Elmer Keith's writings on that subject.

Jack O'Connor's preaching over and over "it's not what you hit'em with, it's where you hit'em" was a major influence on my opinion of hunting rifle calibers and my concentration on field marksmanship. Or as he quoted an Indian guide as saying, "any gun good gun, shootum good." I have observed this to be true on almost every occasion where I've shot and successfully killed or merely wounded big or small game. My sig line indicates my agreement with his philosophy.


Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
