On Marksmanship

"In my work in the Army, I often come across men of a rather low order of intelligence whom no amount of practice will teach to shoot, chiefly because they have never learned how to use their brains. Any man of ordinary intelligence, who is not physically handicapped, can become a good shot. To become an expert shot requires both a good body and a good brain."


– Col. Townsend Whelen, The American Rifle 1918
