the particular shooter. Let him suit 
himself, but use a gun that is the latest 
and most up-to-date in construction and 
type of ammunition used. 
There enters into the puzzle some- 
thing of the human equation also, for 
some men must see their sights before 
shooting while others shoot just the way 
a boy throws a stone and they never see 
their sights at all. One is the slow- 
minded and the other the lightning- 
minded individual. One man can’t 
shoot anything but one of those old 
standbys, the lever action rifle; while 
another must have the auto-loader in 
his hands always to do the best execu- 
tion. 
Certainly in running shots in the 
brush and windfalls there is a big ele- 
ment of luck about game shooting. Al- 
most any shot in the front quarters will 
bring down the game and especially if 
the hit is located along a wide, imagin- 
ary line or band extending obliquely 
from the head, back and down across the 
heart, say in the region comprised by 
the circle i, 2, and 3, you can plan to 
realize a successful shot and one that 
will kill your game. 
THE TWENTY TAUGE 
SHOTGUN 
( Continued from page 552) 
7 or 8 pound 20-gauge guns and shoot 
special 16-gauge loads in them, but that 
does not affect the behavior of standard 
weapons and loads, nor does it affect the 
fact that you can outshoot the heavy 20’s 
with heavy 12’s. It is also possible to use 
the heavy loads in the standard 12’s to 
secure an increase in both velocity and 
penetration. 
'“THE 20 is undoubtedly superior to the 
12 in the ease with which you can 
get on a rapidly moving mark, especially 
when exhausted. In the case of a well- 
designed double gun with proportionately 
designed frame you have a much more 
beautiful weapon in the opinion of many 
than any 12. It is a very fine weapon 
for anyone who likes to carry as little 
hardware as possible in the field and 
who can shoot well enough to place a 
full-choke pattern on most of his birds. 
There is the same difference between 
the 20-gauge and the 12 as there is be- 
tween a trout rod and a bass rod. When 
■choosing a gun it is well to remember 
whether you require graceful handling 
and quick action under difficulties or 
whether you must have a wide, well- 
filled pattern or must deliver a heavy 
load of shot where it will do the most 
good. These conditions should decide 
the selection of the gauge and the load 
to be used. 
GROUSE SHOOTING 
EXPERIENCES 
( Continued from page 546) 
your front in dense cover is to aim ahead 
with the proper lead, then swing your 
gun at the speed at which the bird is 
travelling until you see an opening in 
the foliage, and then fire. As grouse 
usually fly in a straight line, the bird 
will -arrive at the opening just in time 
to receive your shot if you have calcu- 
lated correctly.
