Arthur Corbin Gould

Arthur Corbin Gould

Arthur Corbin Gould (1850-1903) was an avid shooter and member of the Massachusetts Rifle Association. He published "The Rifle" in 1885. "The Rifle" was the forerunner to the official publication of the National Rifle Association "The Rifleman", later "American Rifleman". Mr. Gould later authored "Modern American pistol and revolver, including a description of modern pistols and revolvers of American make; ammunition used in these arms; results accomplished; and shooting rules followed by American marksmen" as well as "Modern American Rifles". The former was the first english-language book devoted to pistol shooting.
