“If you are wise”’ 
HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price, $1. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this original 
manual of ‘‘Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it original, 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self- 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the 
forms of practice followed were his own. This then may 
be termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it 
was successful in his own experience, being here set 
forth simply and intelligibly, it will prove not less effec- 
tive with cthers.

[JAN. 20, 1906. 

New York Schuetzen Corps. 
Tue regular shoots of this club close at 11 o’clock P. 
M., sharp. On the night of Jan. 12, at 10 minutes be- 
fore 11, J. F. R. Ernst was ostensibly the winner of two 
fine umbrellas, one a ladies’ and the other a mere man’s 
rain roof, on the bullseye target. At that time, however, 
in came John Paradies, and hurying, fired a shot that 
was better than Mr. Ernst’s score by 1-32 of an inch and 
carried the prize umbrellas home. A. P. Fegert was high 
on the ring target. The full scores follow:

Rifle Notes. 
In the announcement of the Indoor .22 Caliber Rifle 
League an error occurred in the following paragraph: 
“The prize list, numbering 118 and ranging in close scale 
from $1 to $100 in cash, we think should interest every 
rifleman within a day’s journey of the meeting. For 
others in more distant localities, following figures are 
equally suggestive: The totals of individual purses, 
counting from fifth place in each contest, range from $80 
to $250, and from $40 to $50 in the next five rows.” This 
should have been $40 to $60 instead of $40 to $50.
