GUNCRAFT 
By WM, A, Bruette 
The theoretical side of the subject has been 
covered with a scientific accuracy, and the 
practical side of 
wing-shooting, gun 
fitting, the master 
eye, defects in vision 
and other important 
questions have been 
treated in a way that 
will enablie either 
the expert or the 
amateur to determine 
if he is shooting 
with a gun that fits 
him and how to de¬ 
cide upon one that 
does. The secrets of 
success in trap shoot¬ 
ing as well as the 
peculiarities in flight 
of the quail, the 
jacksnipe, the wood¬ 
cock, the ruffed 
grouse and the duck 
family are illustrated 
by drawings and de¬ 
scribed in a way that 
will facilitate the 
amateur in mastering the art of wing shooting.
