This an accurate guide on how to shoot a rifle?
http://www.artofmanliness.com/2011/05/1 ... t-a-rifle/

Just need to know for a book. Father teaches daughter how to shoot a Pattern 1914 Enfield. I want to get every nuance right and I don't know fuck all about guns. :teef:

LOL Oh dear, old timer fail.

It's the internet, you can ignore anyone safely. Or in your case not ignore anyone, safely or otherwise. You'll get the hang of it eventually.

I read it through and think it's a good basic starter. :tup:

Standing being the least accurate shooting position, of course, it's not bad. There's also the cross legged shooting position, the kneeling position, and the prone position. Obviously the prone position is most accurate as it takes most of your body movement out of the equation.

She'll be using the rifle to shoot three pigs for slaughter. Accuracy shouldn't be a problem in any stance. :teef:

Wrong. You are parroting the standard "militia only" interpretation that gun-banners love to pander. Fact is that the Supreme Court has ruled that the "militia clause" is not a limitation on the types and uses of arms that are protected by the Amendment.

Go read Heller and McDonald.

More than I have, and as much as I want.
As a side note, I just bought 3600 rounds of Lake City .308/7.62 NATO ammo at the Knob Creek machine gun shoot to add to the 5600 rounds of 5.56 NATO Federal I bought last year.

See, as much as I want.

Neither you nor BG are "noobs", and Collector is correct, BG is wrong.

What those who are ignorant of shooting don't realize, is that several thousand rounds, is really not a lot of ammunition, but they think it is.

You and one or two of your shooting buddies could easily shoot 5000 rounds in half a day of shooting if you were training, especially if it's for competition, like 3 gun.

Yet, anti-gunners would love to limit ammunition sales, keep databases on people, totally violating their privacy, and ban internet sales of ammo all together.

Standing easily compensated for by a tripod or rifle rest.

There are no limits defined by need. One may have as much as one desires, can purchase, and has storage space for.
