Always Use Soft pointed bullets for game 

 hunting. They kill cleanly and quickly. 



Choice 01 a Rifle I am often asked the question 

 what calibre and length of barrel do you recom- 

 mend; a most difficult one to answer well unless I 

 am informed exactly the purpose desired for. 

 Generally speaking, I am in favor of a 303 cali- 

 bre magazine rifle or 35 calibre. As to length of 

 barrel the longer barrel will do more accurate 

 shooting. But for hunting where shooting is sel- 

 dom done at over 250 yards the difference is hard- 

 ly appreciable, provided the barrel is sufficient 

 length to permit a nearly complete combustion of 

 the powder. (See about Rifles.) 



Express Bullets Are always superior to solid 

 bullets for hunting purposes. They are sure kill- 

 ers for Deer, E*lk, Moose and similar game. They 

 mushroom on impact or spread tearing open a 

 large wound and killing quickly, much more so 

 than the regular pencil size and pointed hard bul- 

 let. 



The All Round Shot Gun. A 12-gauge gun, 

 weight about 7 Ibs., 30 inch barrels, right barrel 

 cylinder or modified choke, left barrel full choke. 



A Rubber Recoil Pad Is an excellent device, 

 if -your gun kicks or affects your shooting. 



Use a Glove Finger On your twigger finger if 

 it becomes sore or tender. 



A Good Load for 12-Bore Gun. 3 to 3^ drs. of 

 powder, \y% oz. of No. 6 shot. 



Never Use Cheap Ammunition. Buy the very 

 best from most reliable dealers. 



Never Make Your Own Wads If you want to 

 be sure of satisfactory results in shooting. 



What Gun Powder Is. Saltpeter, 75 per cent; 

 charcoal, 15 per cent; sulphur, 10 per cent. 



The Ivory Bead Shot Gun Sight Is an excel- 

 lent one.
