E. s. Parmenter of Pueblo, Col. asks
Shooting and Fishing why there is no revolt

says that out in Colorado o properly con-
structed revolver, with a bullet that is not
too heavy or too blunt, and a charge of powder
to match, would be a most useful weapon for
shooting the small game found there.
Where the grouse are so tame that one
may approach within twenty-five feet Of
them, and where edible squirrels sit upon
their launches allowing one to come as near
to them as an eastern State ~chIpmunk, a
shotgun gives no sport, q shotgun OF rifle
or the revolver shooting the present popu-
lar charges tears the game too much. With
many, hunters a Jhree-pound. 22-calibre tar

is strictly a man killer and would serve ad-
mirably II of IS or A calihre as a deer killer
