hammer fall Just as the gun happens TO
be going across the centre OF the mark
To the man who contemplates taking
up shooting, / would advise the purchase
Of fairly good gun: not necessarily a
costly weapon but one which is suff1-
ciently good TO come within the reliable
class. Without reliable gun the be-
ginner will be unable to learn how fast
he is progressing, for he may make one
good shot and one poor shot, whereas
with good gun both might have been
good or bad.
The beginner, also, should not get a
larger calibre than a twenty-five. After
he has been at il for some time 1t is
all right for him to secure a heavier
gun. but every average beginner should
use a small one. II he starts with a
thirty-two or a thirty-eight the bang and
recoil Of the gun is very likely to cause
him TO finch He may be physically
courageous and all that, but as he is not
accustomed to firearms he still may de-
yelop a finch.
The reason for it Is this: To shoot
accurately the pull of the finger on the
trigger must be even. steady and slow,
causing the hammer to fall at the in.
slant when the gun is in the right posi-
tion as regards the bullSeye. Further
more, the hammer should fall so that
il will snap down and not jar the gun.
This will happen. II the pull is right,
because of the inertia Of the gun itself.
If the shooter is affected with finch
ing he cannot do this; ne Is always prone
to yanl the trigger and this yank
throws the gun out Of line with the tar
get. Thus, no matter how careful his
aim has been all his effort has been use
less because Of the gun being thrown out
of line in the second before the bullet
leaves the barrel. II he finds he is un-
able to get over the tendency to finch
he might better give UP shooting for a

The Man Appointed to Teach Neu

holds his gun out with a steady hand,
gets it right over the bullseye and pulls
the trigger. He doesn't. Nothing could
be further from the fact. The pistol
shooter cocks his gun with his thumb,
holds 1t out toward the target with his
arm extended straight takes aim along
the sights. begins gradually to pull the
trigger, watches the gun weave back and
forth across the mark and, when it is In
the middle of one Of its trips across the
bullseye, finishes the pull of the trigger
There is no such thing as holding a
pistol dead over a bullseye and shooting
1T is human impossibilty The arm
is bound to sway to and fro. even if ever
SO slightly, and the only way to hit the
centre OF the bullseye is to have the

to shoot is to hold the grip with suff-
cient but easy pressure, not in an uu-
necessarily tight squeeze. The more they
squeeze the more they wobble and the
worse they wobbls the less they hit
/ know OF young fellow who started
out to practice shooting: he said he was
going to keep it up until he became SO
good he could put one bullet in the same
hole on top OF the one before It, If he
adhered to his resolution he probably is
shooting yet, trying to put two bullets in
the same spot. 1t is not skill that does
that, it's luck
You may imagine that with pistol
clamped in a wise and so fixed that it
was absolutely motionless, every shot
fired from it would go into the same hole;
this sounds well but II Isn't true. That,
of course, is the way guns are tested for
accuracy sometimes. but what counts is
the grouping Of the shots. Grouping in
this sense means the clustering to-
gether in a small area. The good gun
will plant all its shots under these con-
ditions in a small area; II it is not
reliable gun some of the shots will stray
away from the cluster and the cluster
thing applies to the shooter himself; the
better marksman he Is, the nearer to-
gether his shots will hit and the fewer
will stray away from the group.
II is undoubtedly true that using both
eyes when sighting is easier on the eyes,
While a great many shooters used but
one eye in starting in to learn TO shoot
it is much better TO do so With both
