 whicli have been rechristenert. 2. Answered above. 3. There is 

 no such fish as a "Susquehanna salmon;" the pike-pecch or wall- 

 eyed pike is mi.snamed a "salmon" in Pennsylvania, and you may 

 mean this flsh. If so, wcwll say that it wi]l take a red-ibis as 

 weU as any fly, hut it does not rise freely. Put a shot on the gut 

 and let the fly sink and troll it.

WING-SHOOTING WITH A RIFLE. 



MR. H. C. BLISS, of Des Moines, Iowa, is an enthusiast upon 

 the use ol' the rifle w tli its single byllet in place of the shot- 

 .gunwitliits shower of pellets in a great bidk of .snap-shooting. 

 He has put Ins c.viierienee into a '•on, pact little hook, wliich is 

 inlcn '•nil, ti f m ndtoi d di - wiOi -^enbc and modes! \, 



does not claim to know everything, but sets out to tell what lie 

 has learned by many trials of patient shooting. His object, he 

 stiys, is a sincere desire to encourage Americans to beeinne experts 

 with a rifle. He finds that "most of the works tha t are written and 

 most at the pr.actice that is indulged in is at long range, and 

 wlnle this is undoubtedly a legitimate field for practice, the v. riter 

 claims that it is just as legitimate and more necessary.' by far. for 

 a rifleman to handle his weapon rapidly and accurately at sliort 

 range. This .style of shooting has not been practiced tn'anv great 

 extent except by a few professionals, and thev have throw'n'such 

 an amount of my.stery around it that amateurs have tliought the 

 art entirely beyond them." 



In his opening chapter he .speaks of the uecessar v qualifiea tions 

 for a good snap-shooter, and says: "The question'is often asked, 

 AVhat is necessary to become a wing-shot vdth a rifleV Ifliink- I 

 can answer that question with one word: pi ar i ji i • , ' , .^o 

 much ol tliat as some people think. WheuDi t'ai ,ip 



before the public, even some of the best riiuune st 



thought that he was specially gifted, and two of the be>\' siiois on 

 the Pacific coast talked the matter over and concluded tliat it 

 wasn't wortli tlieir while to try it. Afterward, they decided to 

 see what they could do, and did a little practici ng, all alone, where 

 no one could see them, and to their infinite sm-prise they found 

 that they could, witli a little practice, do nearly evci vtliiiig i bat 

 ( •arver claimed to do." 



He at once sets aside the idea that there is any spe(dal gift in 

 this sort of shooting, and lays down the general conclusion: "It 

 would seem, on trie wliole, tliat a. man of nervous temperament 

 has some a_dvantages in 'snap-shooting' over otlicrs, bet ausc 'he 

 natiu-ally makes quick motions, and this is absolutely necessary in 

 this kind of work. AnotJier thing to always remember in prac- 

 tice is not only to make youi- motions quick, but to init in use 

 enough riiiipi lr 1,1 'i-i -, .. your gim come firmly to your shoulder

asif yiiii j:e :i. i.'i-ular troops are tangld and 'drilled con- 

 tinuall.v on ciiis iioiiit, that every motion should be made with 

 vim; and if yon drill under the instruction of an old army officer 

 for a week, you will find that at the end of that time he will have 

 that so tlioroughly impressed on your mind ttiat you will never 

 forget it." 



He lays .stress upon the importance of starting aright and his in- 

 .sG-uctions show that he has been there and knows what he is talk- 

 ing about. He sa.y.s: "Your first lessons in snap-shool ing should b,o 

 such that you will feel encouraged at Mie resiili, and not tret dis- 

 heartened, as vou are liahle to do it vou atteinnt diiheiilt lea is. I 

 think that this is one of the things that has spoiled many a na iindly 

 good shot. He would attempt some of the feats of professionals, 

 and, of course, fail, and then give the whole tlnng up in dJs.gust. 

 See first that your gun is not loaded, hold it in tire position of 

 'ready,' but do not raise the hammer, unless it interferes with your 

 sights, fix your eye on some small olDject, either iu the rocnu or at 

 something out of the window, and bring your gun (luiclcly ;ind 

 firmly to your shoulder, tn-ying meanwhile to ha\'e the sights 

 aligned \\ itli ilie olijeei yun a,re looking at. Take it down, and try 

 the same thing o 'ei ainl o -ei' ag.-iin. At first, of course, file giiii 

 "will not come w liere yriu want it to, but yon will find ilnit a half 

 liour's practice a day (more if you can snare the time) for a ^veek 

 will do wonders for you, and that the gun ^vill iie almost wliere 

 you want it the instant it strikes \ oiir shoulder. This kind of 

 practices yon will find to be a .crcat help to yon even al tei' you have 

 become a good shot and have stopped praei ice a, little w'hile. If 

 you are goin.g out to shoot, take up your gun and .go through the 

 motions a few times, and it does you almost as much good as 

 firing." 



the matter ol ti rargol he recards as important and makes his 



instructions very iilain as t,o what tlie target, .should be and how to 

 use it, saying: "The first target that 1 would reco mm end to the 

 beginner is by all means one that swings, and is large enough and 

 the range short enongh so that j'ou can see e\'ery time what you 

 have clone. A 12in, target and a riui t. range are about .right to 

 liegin on. 



"Then, when yon begin to tiracticc, do not hold your gun to your 

 shoulder, aiming at one end of tlie space where the target swings 

 and wait (ill it has come liack to that point two or three times be- 

 fore yon shoot. This is one of the most common errors that begin- 

 ners are ai)t to fall into, and nothing could luirt you more. 



' JU'ing the gun to your shoulder and try to have (lie sightscome 

 to the right place, as I have said before, when it Bfrik(!S the 

 shoulder; but wlien it does strike the shoulder don't fail to imiII 

 the trigger. If you fail to hit the target the first few shots, never 

 mind, Itut go ahead. Get into the habit of firing when ,\ ou ought 

 to tiro and this ■.■cry thing ydll nerve you up to your ^\'ork. 



"A great many \vill tell .vou that a, good shot never sees the 

 sights on his gnu hut slioots by instinct. Tlie iiislinct that all 

 good shots ha\X' is tlie instinct of liringing their gun to the proper 

 place wdien Lhe\ try, iuid rigid tiiere the 'instinct' part of t he 

 business ceases, and in one-quarter of n second they ha\'(^ time to 

 adjust the sights and then pnll the trigger. TJui t is another thing 

 that is don;; liy iiistinet— pulling tlic trigger. Ymi will find that 

 after some practice you will pnll the trigger without knowing it, 

 and without any aiqjarent elTort, Justus you would move yoiu* 

 iiand to catch a ball that was thro^vn to yon. 



"A few hours' practice at a swin.Lcing target will show you that 

 you can get nearer the 'Imllscye' each lUO shots that you fire, and 

 you will 'soon want to try .vour hand at something else. Before 

 leaving the swinging target, extend tlie range, if possible, to 'i.5ft. 

 by degrees, say 10ft. at a time. Try liitting it at difi'erent points 

 id its" flight; 1 mean, say init in 10 consecutive shots just as it 

 pa.sses the center, and then try to hit it just as it is half way be- 

 tween the center and the end. Tins will show you wliether you 

 are faUing into the habit of shooting at it at one particular point 

 or not, and help to break you of thai hal)il. 



"Another good tldng to practice is ■call shots.' Stand at the 

 score with your gun at 'i-eady,' and have some one call for you as 

 follows: lie first a.sks you, 'Are yon readi';' Vou ans^s'el•, 'Readyl' 

 ainiliettien calls, 'One, two, three, fire!' His counting and the 

 word 'lire' should not occupy over one and one-half or two seconds. 

 At the word 'one' yon bring your gun to your shoulder, and hefure 

 the word 'fire' is entirely spoken your gun should be discliarged. 

 This is one of the hesi tliiiies to practice that 1 know of, especially 

 at a swinging target. You have to slioot quick, and you do not 

 know Avhere AliC target wdl he. This is another place where you 

 do not want t(_i take your gun dowi from your shoulder and say, 

 '1 couldn't get on to it that time.' Shoot whether you are 'on to 

 it' or not, and keep shooting till yon can get somewJe ! - i : ,• i lie. 

 center. I will venture to say that before you have r is 

 ill tliat wa V you will find no difficulty in bringing yon i !• 



to file rigid place at once that the majority of shot, ed 

 in the 'called' time without trouble. 



"One reason why 1 woidd urge you to always shoot as soon as the 

 gun cornes to the shoulder is, that it will get you very soon in the 

 habit of pulling the u iorucr uuronseionsly, and tliat is one of the 

 necessa rv things to ]<■ ---.i • > i' k siiool ing, asstated before. After 

 vou have learned t .: ; : v well at a s\\ ingiug I arget it wU 



lie time enough foi- , , > 1 > mn ai:, objects throAvn ui) in the air. 

 And befoi'B lea\dng the sv int^uig ta rget I ^vould ad\ ise shooting f t 

 a smaller o'ojeet th.in tlie target tiud, you began on. A small 

 round or pear-shaped iron ball, say lin. in diameter, at GOft., is a 

 good thing to tryafier you liave gotten so that you can hit tlie 

 bullseye pretty often. 



" \nrl IIS soon a^ vmi liecrin this kind of shooting, vou will see tiie 

 reason why 1 have'adviscd you to begin at something large enouKh 

 to see where .you \vere shooting. You will come in .some day -y lien 

 the condition's of ligiit nre a little ditterent from what ,\ on have 

 been used to, and go to shooting at some small object hl^c the above 

 target and will miss it ten or twenty times, and very likely feel 

 digusted with yourself or the gun. or sometliiiig, very mncli. Nn ,, 

 go back to yoiu- old big target again, and shoot as rapid Ij' as .\-oii 

 can ten or more shots, withotd, stopping, and then look at then:. 

 You will very likely find that you have m-ide a \ ery fair score, if 

 you had been shooting for a cluster, as it is called, or trying, in 

 other words, to see how near > ou could ''ouncli ' your shots; but you 

 have also been shooting eithe'r too high or too low, or to ono side. 

 And as soon as vou find out the trouble you will ko ahead at the 

 small target again and make a good score. A fc\vk'ssons like this 

 will give vou confidence in yourself, so that when you get out and 

 begin lo slioot at objects thrown m the air and tail to Iiit them lor
