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 ranee and for the formation 
of shooting clubs for hoys. D'r. C. Ward 
Crampton, Director of Physical Education, 
New York Public Schools, says of it: ‘‘It 
is a useful and readable handbook.”

AMERICAN 
GAME BIRD 
SHOOTING 
By George Bird Grinnell 
This large and profusely illus¬ 
trated volume covers the whole 
field of upland shooting in Amer¬ 
ica. It deals with the birds fol¬ 
lowed by the upland shooter 
with dog and gun, and gives prac¬ 
tically everything that is known 
about the woodcock, the snipe, all 
the North American quail, grouse 
and wild turkeys. This is its 
scheme: 
Part I—Life histories of upland 
game birds; many portraits. 
Part II—Upland shooting, and 
also guns, loads, dogs, clothing. 
Part III—Shooting of the fu¬ 
ture, ruffed grouse, quail, etc. 
There are life-like colored plates 
of the ruffed grouse and quail, and 
48 other full-page plates, with 
many line cuts in the text. 
The book is really the last word 
on upland shooting, and this is 
what some of the authorities think 
of it: 
“It is, I think, a model of what 
such a book should be—but so sel¬ 
dom is. It is, indeed, much more 
than a treatise on field sports, for 
it furnishes such full and excellent 
life histories of the birds of which 
it treats that it should find a place 
in every library devoted to pure 
ornithology.”—William Brewster, 
Cambridge, Mass. 
“A very complete monograph for 
sportsmen and naturalists . . . 
with anecdotes, of his own and 
others . . . The book will he 
enjoyed not only by sportsmen, but 
by the general reader.”— Sun New 
York. 
“An important, thoroughly reli¬ 
able and well written book; a work 
that will be read with interest and 
pleasure by sportsmen. The work 
is the first complete one of its 
kind.”— Boston Globe. 
“This volume is especially wel¬ 
come—a treat to every man who 
loves to tramp the uplands with 
dog and gun.”— Inter-Ocean, Chi¬ 
cago. 
This book is a companion vol¬ 
ume to American Duck Shooting, 
and the two cover practically the 
whole subject of field shooting 
with the shotgun in North Amer¬ 
ica. 
Illustrated, cloth. About 575 pages.
