looTi at it oyer your riflp-barrel. This Mnd of practice -vvill do you 

 more good than anything else when it comes to practical work. ' 



"You will find another tendency also, to shoot over in shooting 

 down-hill and under in shooting up; and your tendency to over- 

 Shoot up-hill will he aggi-avated in quick shooting if you do not 

 attend to it, hut that is the veiy esseiice of quick shooting. If yoii 

 are accustomed to the slow, deliberate ways of the ordinary target 

 shooter, and get out after game that is watching you and liable to 

 hid you adieu in about two seconds, you will ixaturally get rattled, 

 and not shoot nearly as well as usual, but if vou are used to shoot- 

 ing in one-half a second, you will feel confldcnce in yourself, and 

 know that the two seconds are ample tim not that I wotUd 

 advise you to always shoot at game that ciuick. If you have a long 

 shot to make, and your game cannot see you, take care to calculate 

 the distance carefully and arrange your sights, but if you ha^^e to 

 make a quick shot, and the time may come when your life will de- 

 pend on it, you will shoot quick at any ordinary 'distance just as 

 well as you would if you took a minute for the shot, and better." 



The concluding chapters of the little brochure are given up to 

 matters more interesting to the author than the genei-al reader. Ho 

 takes ttp the thankless task of exposing the hiimbuggcry which sui-- 

 rounds much of the professional exhibitors of marksmanship, 

 and then mth some talk about fancy shooting the book closes. 

 An honest desire to succeed and a faithful observance of the 

 direction which Mr. Bliss lays down, wUl make the majority of 

 beginners better than average shots, while all will gain health and 

 recreation from their endeavors to use a rifle in quick shooting.
