  • About the Cover... This issue’s cover features a historical photo of N.C. Nash demonstrating an unorthodox offhand shooting position with a Maynard rifle. Notably, Nash rests his trigger finger alongside the receiver, using his next finger to fire—an unusual yet effective technique for stability. The rifle’s buttstock is positioned under his shooting coat, using core or vest pressure for support.This stance places the rifle nearly between sling-tight and freestyle offhand, offering notable steadiness. It's a technique still appreciated in traditional marksmanship circles, such as Schuetzen competitions and 22BPCR target matches. Thanks to Leo Remiger and Robert Summa for showcasing this classic image of an old-time rifleman.
