Then they flayed the monster, and the next morning the hide was shown to his majesty. All congratulated Yorimasa on his valor and marksmanship. Many young men, sons of nobles and warriors, begged to become his pupils in archery.
You should observe, too, that you were in the dark night, and somewhat dazzled by the lamps, and that the sudden stopping of the mail had jolted you. In such circumstances a man may miss, ay, even with a blunderbuss, and no blame attach to his marksmanship." ... There was a wine-seller's shop, as you went down to the river in the city of the Anti-popes. They called the wine-seller Paradou.
The Spaniards lost terribly. The rebels attacked the enemy. It is something wonderful when you consider the advantage they had over us. They had eleven ships to our six. Their ships could run behind a neck of land near the navy yard. The shore batteries were firing on us from three points. But our marksmanship was too much for them; our fire was so rapid they could not stand it.
I looked, and a lot of colored men were leading about forty old back-number horses and mules, afflicted with glanders and other diseases. "Are the niggers to be killed?" I asked. "Naw," said the chaplain. "The horses and mules." I was never so relieved in all my life as I was when I found that my excellent marksmanship was to be expended on animals instead of human beings.
Ain't dat Injun got no respec' for who I is?" "I don't believe he knows who you really are, Wash," chuckled Jack, whose wounded hand was now so much better that it did not keep him from handling his rifle in a way to make old Andy proud of his pupil's marksmanship.

No other country can boast of such marksmanship as our gunners display; no other country can boast of such armor plate as is to be found on our first-class battleships; not even England can successfully compete with us in seamanship and in general efficiency. Those facts that have to do with the proposition under discussion are known as evidence.
"If you had an atom of decency you'd be ashamed to mention that tribute to your diabolical marksmanship." "Oh, mamma!" ejaculated Weary under his breath, and began to make himself a smoke. His guardian angel was exhorting him to silence, but it preached, as usual, to unsentient ears. "I never mentioned all those things," he denied meekly. "It's you that keeps on mentioning. I wish yuh wouldn't.
In the battle of Tsushima Straits, Russian and Japanese ships had fought at three and four thousand yards and closed into much shorter range. Since then, we had had the new method of marksmanship. Tsushima ceased to be a criterion. The Dogger Bank multiplied the range by five.
A little after 9 o'clock on that bright sunshiny Sunday morning they were close enough for the wonderful marksmanship of the American to display itself. The first shot that found the Macedonian entered through the starboard bulwark and killed the sergeant of marines.
