    Burke, Desmond T.: (970). Canadian Bisley Shooting, An Art and a Science.

    Does anybody have a copy of this book?

    Reference was made to this book by a publication The Benchrest Shooting Primer (1997)Edited by Dave Brennan, Editor of the late publication Precision Shooting Magazine. On page 231 is a reference to Burke's book. An article on cant "Cant and Group Size" by Jerry Masker makes refference to Burke's publication and to "using the .303 Britishicon at 1000 yards".

    Needless to say when bench rest shooters in a text on bench rest shooting/reloading make refference to "British .303" and "competative shooting at 1000 yards". it warms my heart.

    anyway.....

    Burke, Desmond T.

    1970 , 213 pgs
    Open library.065702881M

    The above information was enough to locate two copiesof this book however......They want 200 dollars per copy......

    Does anybody know of this book or have a copy?I recall it being refered to in the past, perhaps by this forum. Did a search one time and thought I "favorited" it. now....cant find it.

    Could someone refernce this book by Burke if its available.if they have a copy could they sumerise its contnt and maybe let us know if its a useful book for tuning the rifles, ammo or shooting style.

    Not sure 200 is worth it, but whats 200 worth any more.

    anyway. If you have a copy of this book and you would like to summerise is content I would be greatfull.

    Thanks
