Excellent step by step instructions, history and details for anyone new to guns. I read this, along with another book and viewing instructional videos getting confirmation on some prior instruction and a target list of next to dos. Inspiration and direction. Now, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!! A must read.
