Shooting for the Record: Adolph Toepperwein, Tom Frye, and Sharpshooting's Forgotten ControversyEvery 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 strapping and handsome Tom Frye had broken sharpshooting's endurance world record after he shot at 100,000 hand thrown wooden cubes and missed only six. But even as the Guinness Book
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 strapping and handsome Tom Frye had broken sharpshooting's endurance world record after he shot at 100,000 hand-thrown wooden cubes and missed only six. But even as the Guinness Book of World Records immortalized Frye, previous record-holder Adolph Toepperwein, having just reached his 90th birthday, was sitting down to write a letter accusing Frye of cheating. Frye and Toepperwein were the two top-performing riflemen in the history of shooting sports, with the span of one generation separating them. Both had performed hundreds of sharpshooting exhibitions on behalf of major firearms manufacturers Winchester and Remington. Shooting for the Record reminds readers of America's longtime fascination with the shooting sports. It's a story that explores far beyond the nearly-superhuman feats of these two individuals. The author reaches back to the grand productions of 1880s Wild West shows and tracks the growth of shooting sports through today.Binding Type: Hardcover

Excellent matcha powder
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 1.4 oz (40g)
The color is a vibrant, electric green right out of the tin, which let me know immediately that it’s actually a high-quality first harvest. It whisks up into a beautiful, silky froth with absolutely zero bitterness or chalky aftertaste. I’ve been drinking it straight with just hot water every morning, and it gives me a smooth, clean energy boost without the usual coffee jitters. Honestly, for a certified ceremonial grade, the quality you get for the price makes this an absolute staple in my kitchen now.

Great matcha powder for latte
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 3.5 oz (100g), Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 3.5 oz (100g)
Beyond my expectations. This matcha powder is seriously impressive ,super smooth texture, rich and authentic matcha flavor, and such a beautiful vibrant green color. You can really taste the quality in every sip. It blends perfectly whether for lattes, baking, or just traditional matcha. Especially perfect for making matcha lattes , creamy, fragrant, and full of matcha flavor without tasting bitter. Definitely one of the best matcha powders I’ve tried lately.

Pure, fresh, and high-quality matcha
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 1.4 oz (40g)
I really enjoyed this ceremonial-grade matcha. One of the things I liked most is that it comes in a jar, which helps keep it fresh and makes it easy to store.
The flavor is very natural and well-balanced. It is not sweet, which I personally prefer because it allows you to enjoy the authentic taste of matcha and use it in different recipes without altering its original flavor profile.
I also love that matcha is the only ingredient. It’s a simple, pure product with no unnecessary additives, which gives me confidence in its quality.
The color is vibrant, it mixes well, and it provides an experience very close to traditional matcha. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for anyone looking for authentic, high-quality matcha.
