M. PHEASANT SHOOTING (PART //) 183 



To obviate this, first stand one line of beaters at 

 (c), then start another line walking up the slope of the 

 hill from (A) as far as (B) (see arrows in sketch), where 

 these halt and gently tap the ground with their 

 sticks. 



The line at (c) now moves slowly forward through 

 the wood towards (B) (see small arrows), and the 

 pheasants, finding they are checked by the line of 

 men at (B) from running downhill, will rise at ( x ) and 

 thus fly high, as per dotted line, over the guns at (D). 

 The first drive should be downwind if possible, as 

 indicated by the large arrow.
