Masters and Marksmanship

“I have seen one hundred men who would call themselves Masters yet if you took all their skills added together, you would not have the makings of three good students, let alone one Master…of this art there are few Masters in the world”
- Master Fiore dei Liberi, Flos Duellatorum, 1410
The quote above is 600 years old and is about swordsmanship. Unfortunately, not much has changed. In the field of marksmanship it has worsened.

Myth – “Firearms must be thoroughly cleaned every time they’re fired and must never be stored dirty.”
Fact – Basic maintenance is simple and quick requiring little more than a wipe down and light lubrication.
