Not much in the book on the makers of single-shot rifles.
I been involved with Schuetzen rifles for more than thirty years and there are some fine people in the sport. You should not let a few people discourage you. Find folks in your area who shoot Schuetzen rifles and join them.
Mike,
I'm sure that there are fine people in all shooting sports and there will always be a few that are problems. These problem people will not discourage me from shooting.
I still shoot and enjoy every hour of it in spite of them. The problem with shooting there Schuetzen Matches is that you have to be a member to shoot there events, I don't have a problem with that as I believe that shooters should support the clubs that put on the events.
My problem is I just cant bring myself to financially support, or support in any way a club in which the problem people are some of the officers, and after seeing the way some of them disrespect there members it's just not in me to be a member or a part of something like that.
I have always shot in matches because it was fun and enjoyable, I'm an old guy and don't know how many fun days I have left, so at my age I realize very well that if it's not fun, don't waste time doing it.
Being that I don't enjoy rubbing elbows or associating with the type of people some of these officers are, it's best I back away, if there attitude changes towards members I think I and some others that are on this forum will get back at shooting there events.
I'm sorry I said anything about the problems they seem to have as this is not the place to talk about such things. I tend to get carried away when talking about things like this so will not say any more other than lets get back to talking about guns.
I always try to find some good in most everything so I look at it this way, because of there "good old boy" attitude this forum has grown and will continue to grow, and the more forums we have the better off we are.
Sorry to say that I really don't have much interest in Bolt guns, to many moving parts I guess, but it sounds like an interesting book for those that are interested in them.
Now how bout a book on Traditional Single Shots.
