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 dif- 
ficult 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 Ham- 
mond system of shooting; and as it was successful in his own experience, being 
here set forth simply and intelligibly, it will prove not less effective with others. 
Forest and Stream Trap Score Book 
meets the needs of gun clubs and shooters in every particular. The 150 sheets 
are heavily ruled—an advantage all scorers will appreciate, particularly when work- 
ing in a dim light. The horizontal spaces are numbered from 1 to 30. Broad 
perpendicular lines divide these into groups of five, which aids the eye of the 
scorer greatly. Similar heavy lines divide the perpendicular spaces into groups 
of six; thus the squads are distinguished at a glance. 
The paper manifolds easily, and carbon sheets are placed in the book for that 
purpose. 
It contains the American Shooting Association Rules for Live-Bird Shooting, 
for Double Live-Bird Shooting, for Inanimate Target Shooting, Hurlingham 
Revised Live-Bird Rules for single and double rises, and the Rose system of 
dividing purses. Price, $1. 
Field, Cover and hey Shooting 
By Captain Adam H. Bogardus, Champion Wing Shot of the World. Embracing 
Hints for Skilled Marksmen; Instruction for Young Sportsmen; Haunts and 
Habits of Game Birds; Flight and Resorts of Waterfowl; Breeding and Break- 
ing of Dogs. Cloth, 444 pages. Price, $2. 
“Field, Cover and Trapshooting”’ is a book of instruction, and of that best of all 
instruction, where the teacher draws from his own rich experience, incident, 
anecdote and moral to illustrate and emphasize his teaching. The score of the 
book—a work of nearly 500 pages—is shown by this list of chapters: 
Guns and Their Proper Charges. Pinnated Grouse Shooting. Late Pinnated 
Grouse Shooting. Quail Shooting in the West. Ruffed Grouse Shooting. Shoot- 
ing the Woodcock. The Snipe and Snipe Shooting. Golden Plover, Curlew and 
Gray Plover. Wild Ducks and Western Duck Shooting. Wild Geese, Cranes and 
Swans. Wild Turkey and Deer Shooting. The Art of Shooting on the Wing.
