HOW TO HOLD THE 
RIFLE ON GAME 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 457) 
the peep sight bead allows a great 
part of the deer’s body to show clearly 
to the eye where at the same range the 
open sight would have practically cov- 
ered up the game entirely. In photo- 
graph No. 5, is shown the appearance 
of the deer through the peep sights when 
properly aligned. For standing, long dis- 
tance shots this is the best sight that 
I know of, with the exception of course 
of the telescope sight. The peep has its 
limitations on running game where the 
intervening trees and ground must be 
watched as well as the speeding deer, but 
for stationary targets there is nothing 
more dependable or accurate. Since the 
post of the front sight on the peep sight 
combination stands out so plainly it is 
easy to hold the rifle plumb. The upright 
front post shows up quickly when the 
barrel is rolled over to one side a little. 
The peep sight is also the best possible 
one for dark, cloudy days or when the 
shooting is done under deep shadows be- 
cause it shows up smaller than any other. 
Photograph No. 6 represents the ap- 
pearance of the deer seen through the 
telescope sights. The cross hairs show 
the correct holding to hit while the dot- 
ted lines illustrate how the rifle might be 
held and a miss result. Since the perpen- 
dicular hair of the sight does not stand 
straight up and do-wn the barrel has been 
rolled to the left, as the dotted lines indi- 
cate, and the shot will go wide to the left. 
The telescope sight is one of the very 
easiest to align because the cross hairs 
show up clearly when the rifle is tipped 
over to one side or the other very quick- 
ly. Besides, the full body of the deer can 
be clearly seen in the telescope sight and 
the distance makes less difference. Of 
course this sight will not do for common 
use in the woods because it is practically 
useless on moving game and the telescope 
may be knocked out of alignment easily. 
To acquire holding the gun plumb, no 
matter what the type of sights you pre- 
fer, is a habit that all field shooters must 
make second nature. Stand before a mir- 
ror and aim the rifle at your image while 
your body is in a leaning position, throw- 
ing the rifle to your shoulder quickly, un- 
til you can put the butt plate against 
your body in a perpendicular position, no 
matter how cramped your phj'sical pose. 
This will help you to cultivate the habit 
of plumb holding under all unfavorable 
conditions presented to you in the field. 
The shooter who holds his rifle easily and 
naturally in plumb position w’ill bring 
home his trophy and his meat nine times 
out of ten.
