Some More Double Shots.— Community, N. Y., June. 

 2^d, — i' Nimrod's" story, in your last, of Charley's double 

 shot is somewhat similar to my first double-wing shot. 

 It was some twenty-five years ago, and also in Iowa. I 

 was looking for some wild ducks 1 had seen alight in an 

 old com field, armed with what had once been a flint- 

 lock shot gun, but it now had a cap lock. I saw a large 

 flock of wild geese flying toward me, and determined to 

 try and shoot one. So I took aim long before they were 

 near enough, and kept them covered as they rapidly ap- 

 proached. As they got nearly abreast, I began querying 

 whet tier they were as near as they were in passing, and 

 finally, to make a sure thing of it, I took down the gun 

 to see. They were just passing a favorable point ; and, 

 before I could again get a good aim on them, concluded 

 thcv were too far away, and so took down my gun with- 

 out" pulling the trigger. I was so provoked at myself, I 

 resolved next time to shoot when I thought them near 

 enough any way. No sooner was the resolution made, 

 when two more were seen coming after the others. 

 Stragglers probably. I determined to fire this time, sure. 

 I drew on them ; and, when I thought them about right, 

 fired. One immediately dropped his leg, and soon went 

 diagonallv for the ground, which he struck (dead) about 

 throe bandied yards from where I stood. The other one 

 turned at right angles, and fell dead some six hundred 

 yards away, A prouder boy was never seen. That was 

 a most lucky old gun. One day I saw some prairie 

 chickens alight in a meadow not far from the house. 

 The lock of the old gun was out of order, so it would not 

 stand cocked. But I loaded it as quickly as possible, crept 

 alone the fence till I was in range of a chicken, drew 

 back the hammer with my little finger, took aim, let the 

 finger slip off the lock, and not only killed the chicken 

 aimed at, but one a few feet further on in the grass. One 

 flay a flock of blackbirds alighted in a stubble field near 

 father's house, and I ran out with the old gun, crept 

 within range, gave a yell, and, as the birds rose, I fired 

 into them. My brother and I picked up twenty-three 

 birds from that single shot. D, E. S. 



The Fools Not All Dead Yet. — Elmira, N. Y„ 

 June 'Z'Ad. — Inclosed please find a piece which I cut out of 



our daily paper this p.m., showing that all the fools in 

 the country are not dead yet. F. B. H. 



" O. P. Watson, of Big Pond, met with a curious acci- 

 dent last Thursday while attempting to take a primer off a 

 No. Vi loaded nietalic shell, The shell discharged in his 

 hands, tearing his right fore finger off at the second joint, 

 and tearing the thumb off of the same hand, and filling 

 the hand full of powder and just grazing the leg,"

Team Shooting.— Astor House, N. Y., June SCAh— Editor Forest 

 and Stream :— As team matches are now very popular, and, as I 

 think, there are a sufficient number of export wiug shots in the 

 United States to make up a team that can beat the world, I have 

 been urged by friends to organize such a team, say of five or six 

 men, to pay a visit to England and meet there similar teams from 

 the crack clubs of the old country. I am now in New York wait- 

 ing for my triple match with Geo. Kimell, whom 1 defeated in 

 1875, aDd won thereby the Championship Badge of the world. 

 Whether the contests at Coney Island on June 30th and July 2d 

 turn in my favor or not, I shall go right on with the team project. 

 1 propose that the entry list for the American team of wing shots 

 shall be open to all comers. Those wishing to compete for places 

 shall address mo as soon as possible at Astor House, New York' 

 or through (sporting papers. I will shoot a test match with each 

 of the men entering for place, and intend to spend the summer 

 in visiting the various cities of the Union for that purpose. These 

 trial matches to bo at 100 hirds each, English rules, thirty yards 

 rise, and at the wildest pigeons procurable; tho results to be care- 

 fully recorded, and at their conclusion all the gentlemen to meet 

 at a grand tournamont, say at Saratoga Springs, in the latter part 

 of August or at some other central location mutually agreed 

 upon, to make the final selection. I should be pleased to hear 

 from Eastern shots at ouee, so that the matches in this section 

 could be disposed of before starting to tho West. 



Of course it is not expected that a start will be made for Eng- 

 land before next spring, as it would he of very little use to 

 attempt such a visit except in the summer season. It Is Impor- 

 tant, however, that all the arrangements should he made well in 

 advance, that no blunders shall lead to a misrepresentation of 

 American wing shots abroad. Adam H. BoGAnims, 



Champion Wing Shot of tho World.

 attendance of shooters considering it was the first day of the 

 shoot, and every thing promises well tor good shooting to-day and 

 to-morrow,
