Solid hardcover. ; "All boys of Boy Scout age, their fathers, and most of their mothers will be glad to know that at last there is available a book on .22 caliber rifle marksmanship, written especially for boys from 12 to 19, and their fathers. ... In a clear, simple, step-by-step style, Mr Chapel explains how boys can qualify for the medals awarded by the National Rifle Association, can earn the Boy Scout Merit Badge for Marksmanship, and participate in adult-supervised marksmanship matches in competition with other boys all over America. This book is written for the boy himself, but cleverly slanted so that he will want his father, or some other adult, to help him gain skill by the coach-and-pupil method of practicing together."
