About the Book

From bolt action rifles to shotguns, hunting handguns to target shooting, cartridges and bullets, this comprehensive insider's guide by Richard Florer explains the design process behind a wide array of sporting firearms. Lending particular emphasis on bolt action rifles, Florer draws on his vast military, hunting, gunsmithing, and industrial design experience to reveal how different models and classes of arms work on the range and in the field. In Sporting Firearms: A Designer's Notebook, Florer walks readers through the design of custom gun stocks. He explains how rifle owners can use cartridges that deviate from the normal length. He offers an excellent introduction to the world of wildcat cartridges whose independent modifications allow for altered performance enhancements, from increased velocities to improved efficiencies to caliber compliance. Drawing on his own gunsmithing experience, he shows revolver shooters several refined techniques for developing high velocity cartridges. Competition shooters looking to elevate their scores will learn new strategies. New methods for improved accuracy are reviewed, from reducing recoil to optimizing the stock-barrel interface. Sporting Firearms also ventures into the world of hunting knives, showcasing their development into various styles as well as their field applications. He offers a how-to chapter on crafting custom knife handles and slings. He also sings the praises of versatility and offers helpful advice on using small game loads in big-game rifles for a hunting firearm that is useful in any outdoors endeavor. Designed for hunters, target shooters, gunsmiths and firearms manufacturers; this book delivers a wide range of practical knowledge.
About the Author: Raised on a Midwestern farm as the oldest of five children, Richard Florer grew up immersed in the world of sporting firearms as he accompanied his father and uncles on small game hunts from an early age. The game the family harvested was an essential contribution to the family's budget and sustenance. As a young man, he joined a big bore rifle club. Squaring off against the United States Army's rifle team, he learned the finer points of high-power, three-position shooting. He joined the ROTC in college, shooting with the small bore rifle squad. In the Army, he was attached to an artillery battalion as a surveyor-forward observer-NCO. Post-military, he entered the world of industry as a product development engineer, building prototypes and designing the tooling for product manufacture of sporting rifles and shotguns. Throughout his life, he has crafted one-of-a-kind custom firearms as an independent gunsmith.
