“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.
