A Few Words on QuaiI-shOOting.

Now, word or two about the best
practice in quail-shoOting. This game
when flushed rises with a suddenness
and force that are quite trying to the
eyes and nerves of young shooters. The
sound made by the wings of the bird
adds to the startling effect. This is apt
to throw you of your guard and render
you somewhat confused and uncertain
of hand and vision. The quaiTs flight
is very swift, and you must shoot
quickly; but you must also shoot DELHI
erately. Be sure that you fire your
right-hand barrel first, as il scatters the
shot wider, and reserve your Ieft-haud
barrel for the long range, especially if
you wish to make a double wing-shot
In flushing quail, the bird will some
times rise at your very feet, so to speak,
and then there is danger that you will
be in too much haste to fire. The best
way to prevent random shooting, in
such case, is to wait till your vision
has adjusted itself, that is, until you
clearly see the direction of the bird s
flight. When once you have command
of your vision, and have acquired the
power of centering it on the flying
game, you will be able to cover your
point of aim with your gun without any
hesitancy.
When your dog has pointed game, do
not rush suddenly forward to flush it.
Consider moment, and look about the
landscape to see if any person or animal
is visible. Next consider in what direc-
ton the game is likely to fly. If any
thick covert is near, it is quite safe to
presume that the bird will 90 in that
direction. Now step slowly and firmly
forward, holding your gun in front of
you with the muzzle pointing upward
and away from you.
The bird will rise in a steep incline
to the height of, perhaps, ten or fifteen
feet, and there steady itself for a strong
straight flight. If you can get your aim
or cover your bird-at about the time
it begins to fly level, you will find your
shot most satisfactory.--Ma Maurice Th0nl1)'
son, tn ST. Nicholas
