If false muzzle enters his vocabulary and he starts shooting standing at 40 rods (200 metres) all hope is likely lost. But fear not he will be happy living in the last quarter of the 19th century, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Pope and others on the Creedmoor Range in New York.
Regards Grandpamac. @akaroa1. You may be halfway there on this.

@grandpamac don't worry I won't be getting into the gentleman target shooting caper
I'm strictly a hunting rifle guy
Don't collect the target models
You won't see me in a waist coat and tie shooting a schutzen rifle match
