ing up a strange gun has found that
he improved his scores by using it. He
has CHANGED upon q gun that fits him
better than his own; he has his stock
altered to suit the bend of the other
gun, and goes at the targets with a
new heart. He improves in practice,
and gradually crawls % into the
NINETY per cent. class" with ne-'
ideas and greater skill. 1t was al, or
nearly all, in the gun. Beginners
should, therefore. never hesitate to
try new guns until they are satisfied
that they have got the right one. If
they don't want TO try new guns they
esa assild up the stock OF their own
gun antil they get it 10 some shape
that does suit them. Anybody whose
hand and eye work together can shoot,
provided they can get the rigiit-slaped
stock on their gun, and tleT con only
