W E also have the rabbits to con- 
sider. Some bird hunters don’t 
shoot them, but nevertheless an ex- 
amination of the average gunning coat 
usually results in an indiscriminate col- 
lection of quail, rabbits, grouse and 
woodcock. You may be hunting one 
variety, but in the course of a week a 
surprising number of the less desired 
kinds will be shot at while quail or 
grouse shooting. 
I have shot woodcock w'hen hunting 
both grouse and quail miles from where 
I expected to see them. Many a rabbit 
gets up right in the midst of a covey. 
Gray squirrels or ringneck pheasants are 
a welcome addition to the shooting on 
many a quail or grouse hunt. 
An average load of 24 grains and 
ounces of No. 7 or No. shot will do 
good work on all this game. I have on 
one occasion killed twenty-one rabbits 
out of twenty-five shots, using brush or 
scatter load charges of No. 7^ shot on 
the unexpected chances that occurred 
during a two weeks’ bird hunting trip. 
For game that is jumped by the shooter, 
7j4’s kill better, cleaner and with far 
less mangling than any other size of 
shot that I have used on cottontail rab- 
bits. 
Some men must shoot a load of 
medium velocity and light recoil to get 
the best results. Such a charge is 24 
grains (or 3 drams) and 1)4 ounces. 
Another class don’t move quite so fast 
in getting on a bird and do better with 
either 24 grains (3 drams) 1 oz., or 26 
grains, 1% (3)4) particularly when 
shooting early in the season or late in 
the day when they are tired, and think 
and act slowly. 
The weight of the gun and the trigger 
pull have much to do with the speed 
with which a man puts the load on the 
game. Only practice will show anyone 
which combination is best suited to his 
shooting time and individual peculiar- 
ities. 
The ballistic results obtainable with 
the different loads, however, are prac- 
tically constant. The high velocity load 
one day is the high velocity load the next 
or five years after. The man is the 
variable quantity and is responsible for 
the twenty-five straight kills one day and 
the eight out of twenty-five the next. 
The load with which you can make a 
high daily average is the one to use for 
field shooting. That means a wide, even 
pattern, velocity to suit your style of gun 
pointing, and a moderate amount of re- 
coil to enable the shooter to concentrate 
on the bird.

There exists, however, another kind of 
so-called “preserve” to which we stren- 
uously object and of which the public 
will hear more later.
