Elmer Keith's boyhood mentors were Indian fighters, vigilantes, lawmen and gun fighters of a passing frontier. As the decades became a part of the past, Elmer Keith was recognized as a great shot on the range and in the field, and the leading pistol and revolver authority in the land. It's very likely that he's burned more powder than any man living today. Extensive experiments were conducted in arms and ammunition design. His bullets and loads, the result of these efforts, are in common use today. Many friends, not the least of whom is Judge Don Martin of Salmon, Idaho, have prevailed upon Elmer to produce a major opus incorporating his experiences, findings, recommendations and instructions. SIXGUNS is the answer to this demand. 336pp.
