THE SHOT. 47 



It must be mentioned, that the illustrations of " an 

 uphill shot" and a "downhill shot" have both been 

 purposely photographed with the sole view of showing 

 the best and most comfortable positions in which to 

 take them. On actual service there would of course 

 be some further cover for the shooter, either of rock, 

 hillock, heather, or bracken, but it was necessary to omit 

 these in order to show clearly what was intended.
