Hints for Shot Gun Shooters 



The Best Boat for Duck Hunting 1 A scull 

 boat with cockpit. The Mullins duck boat (steel) 

 painted dead grass color. (See Boats.) 



Best Dog for Duck Hunters Cross between a 

 Newfoundland and Setter, or a Retriever and Wat- 

 er Spaniel, or a cross between the Setter and Span- 

 el; best color, liver color. 



Best Blinds for Duck Hunting The natural 

 grass or rushes that abound in the vicinity; use 

 plenty of them. 



The Best Rifle for Small Game Or for target 

 practice is of course largely a matter of choice. 

 Either the Stevens, Remington or Winchester are 

 accurate guns. A good choice is the Winchester, 

 25-20, either single shot or half magazine repeater, 

 equipped with Lyman combination rear sight. Ly- 

 man leaf in lieu of the regular rear sight on the 

 barrel and Lyman ivory bead fore sight, it is satis- 

 factory for either smokeless or black powders. 



The Best Ammunition For rifles is that made 

 by Union Metal Cartridge Co., or Winchester Re- 

 peating Arms Co. 



The Best Shot Gun Is hard to determine, there 

 are many good ones. The Greener being a splen- 

 did weapon; following close comes the L. C. Smith, 

 Parker, Ithaca (American make.) 



When Using a High Power Rifle Fit to the 

 butt of it, a good recoil pad, and have your rifle 

 fitted with a Lyman leaf sight; fold down the 

 crotch, raise the bar and use the ivory bead for 

 front; these are better for shooting trim than any 

 globe peep or crotch sights, which are good for 

 target uses, but not for game killing. 



The Best Repeating Shot Gun -The Winches- 

 ter shot gun is probably the best of its kind, its ac- 

 tion is reasonably smooth and reliable. It can be 

 used as a large ball gun, and if proper loaded am- 

 munition is used, is a most satisfactory arm.
