DIRECTIONS FOB STANDING.
When shooting stand on both, legs,
souarely. with the heels little distance
apart and on a straight line with each
other. This pose is natural and easy.
Nature gave a man two legs to stand on.
Rest your weight equally on both legs,
your muscles firm. but not rigid. II you
tighten the tension Of your muscles you
NAV be able to hold one or two or pos
sibly three shots. but you will soon over
tar yourself and at the end OF half a
dozen shots your hand will tremble.
There is no muscular exertion about
shooting a revolver except that OF hold
ing II in the hand. 4 revolver Is not a
twenty-pound. dumb-bell. You don't
have 10 strain yourself when yon aim at
a target, and the easier and more nat
ural your pose, the less strength you ex-
err. the better will be your aim and the
longer your endurance
There are several standard wars Of
standing, differing one from the other
as to the pose Of the body above tie
waist.
The old way came 10 Us from Frame,
where It originated during the days OF

the careessness with which Ignorant
men handle all kinds OF firearms, par
ticplarly revolvers.
Since l opened my shooting-gallery In
Barnum'S old museum on Broadway

thousands. Some of my pupils are now
the best pistol shots in the world. But
during this entire time / have seldom

some man how to hold his pistol so that
an accident might not occur.
There is the nervous man, who fidgets
with his pistol, and points it first at one
man and then at another without mean
ing TO do so.
The nervous man is bad enough, but
the absent-minded man, who points his
revolver at you and forgets all about 1t
until second or so after he has blown
your head off, is much worse.
The worst Of all pupils, though, is the

grandfather may have owned an old
