A Mystery of the Rifle.

Something that no man understands
is why rifle, clamped in an immovable
wise, will not put the bullets into the
same hole every time, even if the wind
does not interfere. 4 correspondent OF
Shooting and Fishing tells how he put
a rife of 80 caliber into wise and fired
it ten times, the sights being always
aimed directly at a mark. The bullets
went all over a four-inch circle at so
yards. Theoretically all ought to have
gone into the same hole. A man who
holds his rifle gripped hard at one time
and easily at another will not shoot as
well as one who takes the same hold of
his rifle every time. The best results
are obtained from bench rests when
the man puts his shoulder against the
rifle butt.
