Effect Of Recoil i'm Rifle Shooting.

1t has been a question with marksmen
whether the recol of a pistol or rifle oc-
CURED before the ball left the bore, Many
have ~contended that it aid not and that
the tendency of apistol to .throw up -
did not Affect it's accuracy. A recent
experiment seems to have shown con-
clusively that the recoil occurs before
the ball leaves the bore and does affect
its direction. : The experiment was
this: A rife barrel, twelve inches long
for convenience, was secured to a solid
bed in such a way as to prevent any
movement, but that of recoil directly to
the rear and upward. In this situation
it was fired a number of times, and the
balls followed each other into the same
hole in the target. An incline or wedge
was then made fast upon the bed at the
rear Of the barrel in Such a way that
the breech would be raised as it slid
back in the recoil. Fired under these
conditions, it sent the balls lower than
before. This showed. that the recoil
and subsequent elevation of the breech
occurred in season to affect the direc-
ton of the ball-that is, before it had
left the bore. Of course the length of the
barrel has an effect in several ways up
on the degree in which the recoil affects
the accuracy of the shooting. -Sprsnq-
