"Shoot to Live" Though long out of print....

[BobC]

...and a bit hard to find about the best manual on basic rifle handling and shooting in general and the No.4 Enfield in particular I've seen. Well worth the search.

It was used by the Canadian military to help train their firearms instructors.
The full title
"Shoot to Live" Presenting the Johnson Method of Musketry Coaching
The copy I found was printed in 1945 but is still in great shape.

Very cool. Do share more! I love vintage marksmanship and hunting stuff, it never ceases to amaze me how much knowledge is hiding under a film of dust, a lot of these types of reference books never made it to a digital format and the precious information within is just waiting to be rediscovered by a new generation.

Love these old books - I hope it is as un-PC as Capt. Shore's work on British Snipers!!

Thanks for sharing, Bob!
