The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

I have recently discovered a great resource of historic shooting practices and musketry qualifications for Britain during the world wars here:

https://vickersmg.blog/manual/small-arm ... g-manuals/

It has me super interested in other countries training manuals from different times. Does anyone know of any websites that might have any? Would love to know (and maybe re-create) the qualifications for Germany, France, America etc.

Check out bloke on the range on YouTube, he discusses this sort of stuff regularly

Good find Sfwh. I have a few originals, mostly from my Grandfather and Uncle.

I gave up on BOTR, it was a little too opinionated for my liking.

I have seen Bloke on the Range's videos and they are good but mostly cover British shooting during the period I already have the manuals for. Maybe there isn't a German/French/American equivalent but I feel like there must be. It's just hard to find the manuals.

I posted this on here a while ago, my collection of Instructions for armourers 1931 that I managed to get scanned. Also, some other random manuals.

Thanks, andrew375 those look really interesting.

thanks guys for some useful links
