“Rifle shooting in every form of competition calls for the exercise of all the qualities that most ennoble a man – determination, self-possession, faith, self-confidence, admiration for the achievement of others. It is suitable for the elderly, since it makes but a small demand upon the muscle. It is the best schooling for the young, as it requires nerve. It interests all, since it allows – nay commands – the exercise of intelligence.” – W. W. Greener.
