ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



O. W., Victoria, B. C— An argument has arisen between two 

 gun clubs ns to the proper raadibg of the following rule: ''Posi- 

 tion at the score.— After the shooter has taken his stand at the 

 score, he shall not level his gun or raise the butt above his elbow 

 until he calls "pull." Should he infringe on this rule the bird or 

 birds shall he scored as lo-t, whether killed or not." Now the 

 question is thif, must the whole butt of the gun be below the 

 elbow? Ans. Yes, the entire butt must be below.
