While in Paris, Rizal practiced fencing and pistol shooting. His reputation as a marksman is best illustrated in a letter he wrote to Antonio Luna which states, “Speaking of shooting, I am sending you a target containing 10 bullet holes, it was seven and a half meters from me. At twenty-five meters I can put all my shots in a twenty-centimeter target”. |
