 full grasp, even with the shoulder. / 
 
 23. The right hand brings the rifle even with the 
 face, and opposite the left eye, grasps the small of 
 stock, turning the lock outwards ; the left hand seizes 
 it by the stock, so that the little finger touches the 
 hammer-spring, on a level with the chin, the left 
 elbow close to the butt. 
 
 Sd. The rifle is brought in a straight line to th^ 
 present^ the cock turned inwards, apd even with the 
 bottom of the waistcoat, the right foot at the same

 quickly as possible to ihn position of attention. 
 
 Ofil^r ^ritii. 
 Thri9 Motioni. 
 
 Ut. At the word •• Arms," the laift hand leites 
 tho riflo even with tho right shoulder, tho riflo as in 
 tho fysi motion of tho present^ li raised about two 
 inches.' . , 
 
 2d. The right hand quits its hold, grasps tho riflo

 even with tho too of the right fool, the wrist pressing 
 agamst tho side and elbow ns close as possil)le. 
 
 3d. The left hand is brought as before on the left 
 thigh. 
 
 Shoulder Arrni. At tho word ** xVrms,"- the riflo is thrown at once 
 . into the right shoulder by a jork of the right hand ; 
 the loft catches it till tho right seizes the riflo in tho 
 proper place, and is then instantly Urought to its 
 original position on the left thigh ; but this must bo 
 dono with tho quickness of one motion. 
 
 A 
 
 In the performance of this, as indeed of every 
 other motion, the greatest care is to be taken to 
 prevent the riflo falling to tho ground, :\».it is an arm 
 easily damaged.
