Your Boy 
Should 
Know How! 
Shooting for Boys 
By A. Frederick Collins 
Author of “Manual of Wireless 
Telegraphy/' etc. 
This is just the book for the boy 
who is fascinated with guns and 
their mechanism—and what red- 
blooded boy is not?—for the boy 
who wants to be a dead shot like 
unto Daniel Boone and Buffalo Bill! 
The author believes that every boy 
ought to be a shooter and that shoot¬ 
ing is the greatest sport in the world. 
He says to the boys: “If you will 
learn to shoot according to the rules 
laid down in this book, you will be 
so prepared that should you ever be 
called upon to protect your life, your 
home or your flag you will be able to 
give a pretty good account of your¬ 
self.” 
An Illustrated Hand Book 
“Shooting for Boys” is not a hunting book, 
but one instructing the boy how to attain 
good markmanship. An interesting his¬ 
tory of the various old-time weapons is 
given as an introduction to the modern 
gun, which is described and illustrated in 
all its various forms. This presentation 
of the guns adapted especially to the boy’s 
use is supplemented with much valuable 
and detailed instruction, to the end that 
he may shoot correctly and accurately. 
Practical suggestions are given for secur¬ 
ing a target range and for the formation 
of shooting clubs for boys. Dr. C. Ward 
Crampton, Director of Physical Education, 
New York Public Schools, says of it: “It 
is a useful and readable handbook.”

Zane Grey has written many fine 
books, but here is the best of them all. 
He has written of wonderful horses 
before, but Wildfire outruns them all. 
He has written often of men and 
women who loved adventure and had 
their fill of it, but here in this story 
of a Centaur community the adven¬ 
tures and passions of his characters 
are as natural in the wild country in 
which they lived as the adventures 
and passions told of primitive peoples 
in fabled Greece.
