 Revealing old know-how not commonly documented January 16, 2000
41 out of 49 found this review helpful
The Art of the Rifle is an outstanding collection of the various facets of riflery, presented by one of the most accomplished and articulate authors in the shooting business. Jeff Cooper presents a number of tips and techniques, not the least of which is the proper use of the shooting sling, for the readers benefit. If the book has a drawback it is this: some of the photographs did not print well and are a little difficult to decipher, particularly if the reader is unfamiliar with the concepts being illustrated. Just the same, this is the only manual I know of that contains this important information. Good Shooting...
Excellent reading for the aspiring sharpshooter April 1, 1999

I enjoyed this book tremendously. It's great writing by one of the experts who's spent his life studying firearms and their practical uses. There are lots of practical tips on how to achieve better marskmanship, as well.
Required reading. December 20, 1998

If you are new to the rifle, here is an excellent introduction. If you are not, you will find nothing you can not find in other books on riflery. There is of course an important exception. NO one can top Mr. Cooper on showing WHY we love rifles, and how rifles have helped humanity "out of the mud." This is what makes it required reading.
The final word on the use of the rifle from the Master. October 1, 1998
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
I have read Colonel Jeff Cooper's book "Art of the Rifle" and just completed his General Rifle course. Anyone who desires to master the "queen of personal weapons" will be well on the way by studying this book. The entire spectrum of practical use of the rifle is covered in Colonel Cooper's usual style. After reading the book, you'll want to take the class. Buy one for your library, and extras for friends, children, and family. Future generations will thank you for it.
 Concise clinic on the use of the general purpose rifle. July 8, 1998
29 out of 30 found this review helpful
In his usual erudite style, Col. Cooper lays forth the basic use of the general purpose rifle. This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to improve his skill with a rifle and therefore his self-esteem as an individual citizen. His opening line says it all, "Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons." Do expect the straightforward dope on how to handle, hold, sight, and fire a rifle. Don't expect lengthy anecdotes, although personal examples, experiences, and observations are thrown in. Don't expect specialized material regarding target shooting or any specific (non-hunting) sporting applications. This is an easy-to-read book of just under 100 pages that will help the beginner build a solid foundation and help the expert hone their skill. You (as I did) will read it over and over. In a time where the skill of rifle use is rapidly disappearing from our increasingly urban society, this book is both timely and useful. I highly recommend it to all shooters and those who would like to be.
