First firearms book I ever bought new off-the-rack was "The Accurate Rifle" by Warren Page, and I remember that he quoted Whelen's dictum in it. We are in agreement.

I aim to take it to a nearby indoor range that allows walk-ins within the next few weeks and try it out. If it (and I) can group 'em touching or at least clustered at fifteen yards (minute-of-partridge's head), I'll be happy. I've got an old brick of Fiocchi Biathlon left over from my rimfire pistol days, and I still have a few unused short-range free pistol practice targets in the top drawer of my shotgun trunk. Hopefully the thing will group, as opposed to patterning.

It's at least 90 years old. Hoping I remember how to shoot a rifle! Been out of that game 23 years.
