LETTERS TO YOUNG SHOOTERS LETTER 



deliberate piece of recklessness no man should be 

 capable of who wields a gun. 



That casualties do on rare occasions occur there 

 is no doubt, and they are generally caused by a young 

 shooter becoming so excited at seeing a large number 

 of grouse flying past him that, in his anxiety to kill 

 what he can, he thoughtlessly fires at a bird just as it 

 passes between himself and another shelter.

The fatal tendency to dwell on the aim or follow 

 a bird with the gun to the shoulder is another cause 

 of accident, and is an unpardonable habit that is 

 always incentive to risk, as, though the sight first 

 taken by the shooter at his bird may be a safe one, 

 by the time he pulls the trigger his gun may point in 

 a direction that it is most unsafe to fire in.
