Sinossi
Excerpt from Notes on Shooting: With Instructions Concerning the Use of Nitro Powders
When the previous editions of this work were issued our knowledge of shot gun ballistics was in a transi tion stage. Although a few pioneers, both here and abroad, were already advancing towards the elucidation of the laws which govern the action of smokeless powders, sportsmen generally, and the majority even of experts, were still under the sway of lingering traditions. As in all infant sciences, there was an antagonism between the old school and the new. The former, claiming to be practical, dubbed their opponents theorists, the self-styled practical man firmly believing that his ideas were based on facts observed by himself. Nothing has so retarded the progress of many sciences as this delusion; for phenomena thus observed become unconsciously distorted and refracted by reaching the mind through a medium of preconceived theories and prejudices.
