Every few years, a book comes along that makes an important contribution to the history of American sport, even though - or, maybe, because - its storyline delves into the obscure. The event that launches the narrative in Shooting for the Record is the 1959 news report that Tom Frye had broken sharpshooting's endurance world record after he shot at 100,000 hand-thrown wooden cubes and missed only six.
