Explains how the Golden Mean was integral to the design of historic longrifles. Wirebound softcover, 104 pages, 8-1/2" X 11", ISBN 0-9727425-0-6.

In this insightful work, Hallam explains the relationship of the Golden Mean proportion to the design and construction of the original Kentucky rifles. As Hallam states, "Because of the ingenuity and originality of the early craftsmen, their use of 3 to 5 is not glaringly obvious to the casual observer." Using line drawings, Hallam examines the original longrifles and shows how the Golden Mean was applied in their design.
