THE GREAT GAME
THE GREAT GAME
From “The Musgrave Ritual”: “have always held, too, that pistol practice should be distinctly an
open-air pastime; and when Holmes, in one of his queer

hundred Boxer cartridges and proceed to adorn the opposite wall with patriotic V. R. done in bullet-
pocks,…”
THE GREAT GAME

as you choose” BBC: Hardware
