THE AHT OF IWmV 



An Illustrated Treatise on tlie 

 Art of Shooting, with extracts 

 from the best authorities. 



By CHARLES LANCASTER. 

 London, 1891. Price $3.00. 



AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 



At the special request of many gentlemen who 

 have placed themselves in my bands for instruction 

 in the Art of Shooting, I have written this treatise. 

 I have endeavored to meet the special requirements 

 of those who are anxious to become proficient in 

 the art, and who have hitherto been unable to 

 obtain, in a precise form, the information neces-^ary 

 for studying the flrit principles of shooting at mov- 

 ing objects. 



I have had the honor of coaching many gentle- 

 men, and haTO carefully studied the points espec 

 ially requiring attention ihat have cropped up from 

 time to time while giving instruction. I hope Thar 

 those who favor mo by studying this treatise may 

 quickly gain the knowledge so essential for tbe 

 making of au average if not brilliant shot 



I have purposely refrained from touching on the 

 several merits of any class of gun — being a gun- 

 maker myself; and, indeed, so many good works 

 on the subject have been written that it is really 

 unnecessary. 



I trust that authors from whose writings I have 

 made extracts will pardon me when they recollect 

 that I have at heart one object, viz.: the advance- 

 ment of a manly sport which gives pleasure, health 

 and occupation to many, and io the patronage of 

 whose followers I am indebted for many pleasant 

 uays.

RAILROAD. 



The sportsman of the North often has a blank day. 

 Indeed, no Northern shooter knows much about 

 shooting until he has shot in the South, where the 

 superb natural conditions have left the game in un- 

 diminished plenty in the covers. 



Don't Go After Bear 



to the Rockies. Go to the wide river bottoms of 

 Mississippi or Louisiana and you will get one. 



Don't Go After Turkeys 



to the Great West, but to the Great South, in Missis- 

 sippi and Louisiana, where the unbounded wood- 

 lands hold abundance of these noble birds. 



Don't Go After Ducks 



in the North, and work hard for days for a dozen 

 ducks. Go South, to Louisiana and Texas, and 

 learn what wildfowl shooting is. 



The Quail, Woodcock and Snipe 



shooting of the South is such as the Northern hunter 

 never dreamed of. A genial chmate, a pleasant 

 people, a six months open season, and birds until 

 you want no more. 



The Illinois Central Road runs direct to all this 

 country, and is the only road that does.
