He covers in great detail the rifle matches beginning in 1874 between the Irish and American teams. Some of the shooting done then, with black powder and cast bullets, would put modern shooters to shame. None of these wimpy 3 shot groups either. Lots of pictures of 10 to 40 shot groups at 200 to 1000 yards. A lot of what we do now is reinventing the wheel. They were using shotgun primers in lieu of percussion caps back in the 1880s.
