GUNS AND SHOOTING.
The Best Shots Have Their Guns
Made to Fit Them.
From the Chicago Record.

Mdue 10 rIt Ihem.
From the Chicago Record.
The crack shot Is born, not made but
almost any one can acquire considerable
skill In the use of the shotgun by prac-
tice. AS a sport, wing-shooting is the most
fascinating of all outdoor sports. 1t takes
in every season of the year if man cares
10 shoot in the spring. 1t embraces a great
variety Of sport Here in the middle West
there is a particularly large list of game
" hich can be hunted during The year. Snipe.
plover, ducks, geese, rail, mud hens.
woodcocS, prairie chickens, ruffed grouse,
turkeys, quail and rabbits make I'D the
quota. And some hunters shoot squirrels
with shotgun, and plckereF in the spawn
ing season; but that does not make the
pickerel a game bird. AS many hunters
view the question The woodcock quail
jaCksnipe, IUffed grouse and canvasbacl1
duck are the only birds which are really
game birds, and some sportsmen even con-
fine the number to woodcock, quail and
jacksnipe.
The first thing for a man to do in order
to be a good field shot is 10 get a gun that
will fit him. All man are built with certain
physical differences as TO length of arms
and breadth of shoulders, and a mans
gun should fit him like a pair of shoes,
easy and comfort able. The straighter the
stock Is the better shooting he will be apt
to do. When a stock has a decided drop 10
1t the sun viii often come to the shoulder
easier than a straight-stock gun But tho
straight-stock gun makes the shooter al
most invariably shoot a little higher and
that is a result which will bring about the
bagging OF many a bird which would have
been lost IL the hunter had been using a
gun with an abrupt drop. The reason of
this is that when birds like the quail the
woodcOck. ruffed grouse, prairie chicken
and jacksnipe get up they are apt to be
"undeTshot" by the hunter. Many more
birds are lost by shooting under than by
shooting over them. Shooting over or ahead
of a sw.ft-nying bird IS only occasionally
done. But shooting behind or under he bird
is a matter Of continual occurrence.
A straight-stock gun is therefore prefer
able for wing shooting, If beginner is to
be considered. A first-class wing shot can
shoot with a bored-out musket or almost
any firearm. But the green hand will do
better with the straight stock Let the
novice have his gun cylinder bored in both
barrels. He had better not try duck shoot
ing until he has had considerable exper-
fence with quail, snipe woodcock, chicken
and ruffed grouse. In hunting this kind of
game he will do IS per cent. of his shoot
ing under fifty yards. In the good old
