Jersey City, N. J.. Dec. 17.— Following are the scores made at 
the last shoot of the Hudson Gun Citub, of Marion. The weather 
was cold, and a strong wind was blowing from the northwest, 
making it almost impossible to mrtke a good average, ■ 'but, all 
things considered, some fine strings were made. 
A series of team matches was shot, and the scratch men, Dudley 
and Schorty, won. The ngst team was Jones and Meunch, who 
were a good second. Bock and Banta were third, while Scheubel 
and Duke were last. 
On Friday evening, Jan. 4, 1901, the annual meeting ' of 'this club 
will be held at 411 Tonnele aveni»e, for the election of officers for 
the ensuing year.

The FoxiST AND Stse.\m is put to press «ach week on Tuesday. 
Correspondence intended for publication should reach 1^^ at th<a 
There are several causes of bad shooting, and many more 
than several ideas of the manner of treating them, it is hardly 
likely that experts can agree about the latter whsn they are nbt 
agreed upon what good shooting or good style in shooting really 
is. There are at least three distinct schools, each teaching or 
believing in different methods The first and oldest of these is : 
(a) The advocates of aligning from fal.se breech to foresight. 
(b) Thi; second is the. pigeon shooter's manner — that is, align- 
ing- the foresight on the game with the eye well above hut exactly 
over the center of the false breech, 
(c) The third method is that of looking at the game and throw- 
ing up the guu, in confidence that the hand and eye will work 
together. 
Whftne'Ver an- argument occur."! abciut .s'liooting it will nearly 
always be found that agreement is impossible, and that the longer 
the argument proceeds the wider the disputants get apart. ' The 
reason of this is that the advocates belong to different schools, 
a, b, or c. 
These classes can again be subdivided. There is in each of 
them: 
d) The shooter who calculates- -distance and elfevation, and 
brings his gun to bear upon an imaginary spot in front or above 
his game, as the case may require, by focusing the game or the 
imaginary spot and detecting how much to right, left, above or 
below his gun muzzle is, arid directing it accordingly. 
(2) The shooter who brings his gun to bear on the game and 
then jerks it into the required allowance, pulling as he jerks. 
(3) W^e are inclined to believe there is a third subdivision who 
knowingly 'never "allow" at all, and the reason they do not in- 
variably shoot behind their game is that the gun comes up with 
tlie_ muzzle pointed to the direction where the game first became 
visible, and that in order to get on it there has been a race of 
the muzzle after the game, the trigger being pulled only when the 
gun has overtaken the game; the shot does not leave the muzzle 
until momentum, set up in the r.ice from behind to the front, has 
carried the latter past the point intended. It is absolutely im- 
possible that there can be a sudden stop of the muzzle, as the 
muscles cannot effect it even if the will demanded. As 1 2, and 
S can each be applied to a, b and c, there are at least nine 
chances to one that the best shooting conversation will be mis- 
understood by the listener. 
The most frequent incomprehensible remarks will cofne from 
c, the shooter who believes that he looks at his game and shoots 
without alignment, but simply, as he will tell you, in the \Vay you 
catch ;i cricket ball, shoot an arrow, or use a fork' in feeding 
yoursel_f. This is a style of shooting that is more heard of than 
practiced; its correct name is snap shooting, and we have noticed 
that- many of those who think they practice it are considerably 
longer -in . getting off their guns than some others who confess 
to- the .older fashions. Besides, their practice not going to con- 
fii-m^their precepts, the illustrations they choose are not convincing. 
Tliefe' is'" the "cricket ball, for instance, which, when it is caught 
at a- yard distance from the eye, covers as much of the horizon 
as a 10/t. sphere would at 40yds. Perhaps even a poor poking aligner 
i/iight hit a 10ft. sphere at 40yds., so that this artrument proves 
nothing. It is best not to apply the same parallel to the argu- 
ment of the mouth and the fork, as the fork is so much nearer 
tOt begin with that comparatively the mouth would grow out of 
all rcQpg-nition at 40yds. This has been best answered by one 
who solemnly assures those who place reliance on it that he can 
MSt hlfe' fork in the dark, but that no one can use a gun with 
equal precision in the dark, no matter what system he adopts. 
That disposes of No. 2 argument, and then there is only the 
bdw and arrow left. Mr. Ford revolutionized this sport when 
he first adopted the plan of drawing the arrow directlv beneath 
the right eye— that is, below the chin instead of to the "right ear, 
as had been customary until his time. The scores at once mounted 
up with this alteration of method, but it appears that those who 
advocate the principles of archery at stationary objects, as ap- 
plicable to the shotgun and moving objects, can best be answered 
-by the -practice or riflen,ien at stationary objects and their con- 
.stant struggle to obtain sights giving improved definition. . 
But possibly the best answer of all to the c school is their 
own precept. They- tell you to look at the object and put up the 
gun, and that the latter will then assuredly cover the former. In 
r.that case, if they are conect, a miss will almost always result; 
the game is not standing still. If vou say this, the proposition 
IS very likely to be madified, and you are then to gaze at a fixed imag- 
inary spot in space. This is a simple impossibility, for when there 
is nothing to guide the eye it wanders while apparently being sta- 
tionary all the time. It is ea.sy to fix a spot in front or- behind 
the game if there is any sort of background, but it is not easv, or 
evtn possible, when gazing into the vault of the sky. If this is 
brought home to the shooter, he will probably say that the game 
fixes the imaginary' movable spot by its proximitv. But if this 
is the case, then it becomes difficult to say whether the shooter 
is not focusing the game one instant and the imaginary spot the ■ 
iiext; and it is also difficult to detect how much this rapid alterna- 
tion of focus influences the direction of the gun, for be it re- 
membered that the c party declare that you are not to see your 
gun. 
It is not difficult to kill rabbits crossing a ride in this style; 
tliey have been killed when shooting from the hip; but when the 
distance to be allowed is yards in front, as for a grouse, down 
wind, better work-can be done by .those who are able to make the 
utmost use of the pointer they hold in their hands. It is very 
easy to detect the approximate distance by which one bVd leads 
another as they pass the .spectator, just as it is easy for a judge 
to tell the number of lengths by which a horse race is won. It 
is simplicity itself to detect the fact when one moving object 
overtakes and passes another, and the shooter who makes the 
muzzle or sight_ of his gun equivalent to the leading bird, over- 
taking and passing the game he is shooting at, seems to have a 
better means to accuracy of allowance than he who never sees 
his gun when he shoots. Of course it is possible for a man who 
keeps his focus on his game and never is conscious of seeing his 
gun to jerk it in the direction the game is going after presenting 
It; but then this is never done by snap shooters, and if it were 
done It would cease to be snap .shooting, and would be a longer 
operation than his.-Ayho shoots as described under a and 1 or b 
and 1, neither of which are necessarily two operations, ahhough 
they may be made so. The jerking of the gun forward after pre- 
senting at the game must necessarily take two operations, whether 
the shooter belong to the a, b, or c class, and although an ex- 
cellent practice to learn or to fall back upon when a shooter is 
more or less out of form, it does not constitute the finest form, 
and We -have known game come much too quick to give it a 
chance;- moreover, it sometimes happens that in crossing over 
rides pheasants are not visible long enough to put it in practice. 
In such cases one swing of the gun from the readv and a simul- 
taneous press of the trigger are all tlirt is possible Jn the time, 
and j'et the, ishooter whose method is a and 1, or a No. 1, is well 
aware how much ahead or behind he was when he fired. 
We have never yet seen a shooter of the c class who was able 
to shoot a choke-bore charge into the crnter of a target at 40yds. 
without, adopting a. to him. new style of putting down his head 
and aligning, so that we dmibt whether those who "never see 
their guns" really know exactly what they do in the presence 
of game. ... 
Between a and b there is a great difference; a gets his head 
down to his gun or his gun up to his face, according to bend, 
whereas b looks over his gun. at the game, pointing with the <:ight 
and looking over the rib; bv this means b is enabled to aim at 
the risirig bird when the shot should go well over that which he 
IS focusing. This is an advantage in quickness, for it is unques- 
tibnable that it is quicker to aim at an object focused than a 
certain distance over it. It is for this reason that pigeon guns 
are usually made straight in the stock. A pigeon from the traps 
IS rising almost always, but when it comes to high quartering 
same the elevation given by the height of the eve above the rib 
mav be all. wrong, and then the method of exact alignment de- 
scribed under a has the advantage. Besides this, a twist of the 
gun half over, so as to have one barrel higher than the other, act's 
m two different ways, according as a man shoots bv alignment 
of breech and foresight and game, or by alignment of game 
aiid foresight only. The former keeping true alignment 
with a tilted gun shoots m front and low; the latter when he 
places his foresight on the game and tilts the right-hand barrel 
up (a very common habit when game is coming from the front 
and_ passes on the left), shoots high and to the right— that is 
behmd._ lf_ the left barrel is up, and game is passing from the 
same direction to the right, then the shooter shoots high and to the 
leit — that IS, behind again. 
Here is one very common fault which is brought about by the 
small degree of "following on" necessary to catch up the game 
and because instead of turning the body from the hips a twist 
of the shoulders IS much easier. Nevertheless here is a fault com- 
monly supposed, like the rest, to be curable by fittine- with thp 
try gun. It is obvious -nevmhejess th«t i,^ C8.st-Qff th^t 
help fof the right-hand shots would make matters v, orse on the 
left. 
When we consider what a variety of manners of shooting there 
are, it is hardly to be wondered at that the try gun should be 
considered a short; and easy road to discover what a shooter does, 
and as a true diagnosis is half-way toward a cure it may be 
recommended so far. To find out what a man does with the gun, 
and to discover why he does it, are two very different propositions, 
As we have said, the methods of shooting adopted by good shots 
ore at least nine. Each fault may and probably does, have' some 
different effect according to which of these manners is adopted; 
and faults in shooting are numbered by hundreds— optical, physical 
and nervous. Yet people expect that their own experience is 
quite certain to be of use to others, and think those who cannot 
make use of it wanting in intelligence at least. It is obvious 
why Mr. H. Greener thinks there is nothing like the principle 
of shooting adopted in archery. Any one who had for a customer 
a crack pigeon shot who could use any stock, bend or cast-off 
equally well would think so. Mr. Boswell, it is natural to be- 
lieve, does not advocate much cast-off or bend; pigeon shooting 
has formed his judgment, and the foresight aimers (b) form 
no small proportion of his customers. 
A cure effected by a variation of the shape of the stock, as 
suggested by the try gun, can hardly fail to be one in danger 
of being counteracted as the novelty of the stock wears off and 
becomes, as it were, part of the shooter. This certainly is so foi- 
every fault except those which arise from optical defect?. 
There is no doubt, however, that too much has been claimed 
for the try gun, which is a most useful servant, but a very bad 
master. To illustrate this Mr. H. Harriss told an excellent story 
of a man who had been fitted with a try gun. When the weapon 
was ready he found it to be enormously cast-off, and complained 
that It did not fit him. "Oh," said the gun maker, "it is quite 
right; your left is the master eye." That was strange, to say the 
least, as his left eye was a glass one. We cannot go as far as that 
in appreciation of the try gun, but we have lately discovered that 
It is not necessary for one eye to be the stronger for it to become 
what is called the "master eye"— that is, the aligning eye. 
As previously explained, it is not necesary, when, shooting from 
the right shoulder and aligning the sight with the right eye, for 
that eye to see the game at all; if the left can see the target and 
not the sights, and the right the sights and not the target, that 
suffices, and the right eye may still be master and the left only 
Its servant to bring the aligned sights upon the target. We have 
lately had personal illustration of this, as in some lights we can- 
not di.stinguish a small bullseye at 100yds. with the right eye, 
yet with both eyes open we can make very good practice; and to, 
establish the fact we can do equally well with a sheet of paper 
placed at the muzzle so that the right eye can see neither bullseye 
nor target. We believe that every one who tries this will do it- 
at the first attempt, and yet we have discovered a good many 
expert rifle shots and gun makers who had no idea that this 
was possible. The master eye is master to this extent. We do 
not knotv whether when shooting from the left shoulder With 
everything reversed it is as easy. 
Cfncinnati [Happenings. 
Cincinnati, O. — Editor Forest and Slream: Many years 'ago, in 
the early '80s, Cincinnati, as a target-shooting town, 'was perhaps 
as well known as any on this continent. In those days the shoot- 
ing was carried on about the same way as when glares balls were 
used— that is, the five traps -were set in the segment of a circle and 
the shooter, standing 18yds. off, and facing the cenfer trap, fired 
his five shots and made way for the next man, and so on. We 
all used 10-bore guns, black powder, and had lots of fun. We 
also made lots of noise and smoke, atld some of UB msdc very g(.)Od 
scores. , • - , 
The targets were thrown at known ang'es, but unknown traps, 
so that the shootine was then and still is quite difficult. Those 
w;ere the days that Mr. Fred Kimble, of Pe oria, paid us periodical 
visits, and with his 111b. 10-bore Parker invariably c^rricd off high 
average. _ He was at that time so easily the best' tournament shot 
in America that it became almost a foregone conc'nsi' n t'^at 'Hp 
bulk of the prizes offered would find their way to Peoria, 111., his 
home. 
Well, things dragged along here after 1S86, and got from bad to' 
worse, until no club holding regular shoots existed, barring the 
Cosmopolitan, -which thioiigli It all survived, being held together 
by a few veterans, who on Saturdays met on those grounds, did 
some shooting and enjoyed social confabs and delightful chats so 
conspicuous by their absence in the sail-in-and-never-stop-shooting 
of the present day. The style of shooting at this club ha.s never 
changed. It commenced with the one-man-up, and so continued to 
the end. 
.1 am quite safe in saying that evefy erstwhile member of (tieTjtd 
Cosmopolitan Club when passing its grounds feels a pang of 
regret at not being able to stop the car and truHffp d'-^'n s"<i 
up those steep hills, and once more shoot for the fun of it. and not be 
hurried and jostled and' made to work, as we often d'j nowadays 
in quest of what should be sport. " - 
However, things have changed. Instead of shooting .50 lo 75 
shots a day, we now shoot 20O or 300; so, while targets and aitl- 
munition are cheaper, the actual expense is about the same or 
more; but then Young America must trot fast or stop, so let us 
trot along and His Nibs will take care of the hindmost. 
A more deplorable state of affairs, in the shooting line than ex 
istcd in Cincinnati up to the advent of the. Cincinnati Gun Club 
could not be imagined.- No town of its size was so utterly devoid 
of the semblance of a gun club, barring of course the Cosmo- 
politan, so naturally those who were fond 6{ the spprt had either 
to go -abroad for it or ruminate on what they had dPm- In former 
days. 
Naturally, then, with the coming of the Cincinnati Gun Club a 
revival in trapshooting has occurred, and the flame so long 
dormant, so dead— cold dead, stark and clammy dead— has ^beeii 
rekindled, let us hope, to blaze as never it did before. 
As matters now stand, we are very nicely fixed these day*,. 'We 
haye a good, roomy, warm club house; two sets of target traps, 
one a -magazine and the other three traps, Sergeant system, and 
a set of underground field Fulford pigeon traps, so we may be said 
t<i he well up to date. 
Too much praise cannot be accorded Mr. R. S. Waddell, for to 
him, far more than to any other, are we indebted for having 
organized and carried to a successful issue the organization of this 
club. In thus pointedly referring to this gentleman 1 mean no 
disparagement to others, who have so willingly put their shoulders 
to the wheel; far from it; but the fact remains that Mr. Waddell 
was the originator of the idea, and the moving spirit at the start. 
The club has a very large membership and quite a good many 
on the active list, which is of vastly more importance, for these 
are the ones who keep it up. The target traps are always ready, 
and one can generally get pigeons by notifying the superintendent, 
Mr. Arthur Gambell, in advance. 
There can be no question as to the quality of the target shooting. 
It is simply first class. By this I mean that they are thrown 
far and swift enough to please the most exacting, and as the fore- 
ground is none of the best, one needs be a first-clas marksman to 
make big scores. 
Regarding the pigeons, it is different. The coop being at the 
.shooter's back when facing the traps, it stands to reason one gets 
a good many incomers, so that a man weak on these is apt to find 
a good many goose eggs adorning his score, as many birds, es- 
pecially after being cooped .some time, are apt to come to what 
they call in Spanish their "Guerencia" — i. e., "fond home." On 
days of special matches, however, Mr. Gambell procures his birds 
from afar, so that this objection cannot well be urged against them. 
I could not abandon this subject without saying a few words 
about iny friend, the Colonel. Now, I don't know just how he 
got his title, nor do I know why promotion in his case should 
have ceased while yet so young in years. Surely, if merit counts 
for anything. Generalissimo or Lord High Admiral would better 
fit his case. He has smelt powder — tons of it: has heard the 
whizzing of flying lead and tramped the gory field. He has car 
ried aloft many a bleeding victim, and brought him safely hom.e 
amid the cheers and "bravos" of the admiring throng, and many 
a man owes his life in a miss-and-out to the fleet-footed, long- 
haired setter dog Colonel. There may be better retrievers— I 
don't know it. There never was a more cheerful, willing one, and 
I stand ready at any time to chip in my quota to buy him a 
silver collar, for he certainly deserves it. I think I may justly 
say, without drawing invidious comparison, that in the pigeon de- 
partment. Colonel stands so pre-eminently at the head of the list 
that he wins in a walk. 
As to medals put up for competition between club members, we 
are well supplied. We have the Graydon. Mosty, Sullivan, and the 
Peters Cartridge medals for targets. Last year we -had the 
Schuler medal for pigeon shooting, which, by the way, was won by 
a very modest young man, Mr. Schreck, 'of Newport, Ky., and 
this year v/e have the Wagner medal, also for pigeon shooting, 
won ftir. Srst tim? hv ".i^cklev," the veteran shot c* tlif clut».
