telescopes in unit adjusted to a short
rifle between them. The telescope
may be easily detached and used in
dividually without the gun. The gun
is steadied and rested against the
forehead by means of recoil pad.
The recoil is taken up by means of
series of fiat springs arranged like
carriage spring, one leaf ON top of
the other, and soft leather padding,
which in aiming is rested against the
forehead. steadying the gun. On guns
with an extremely heavy reeoil,
shoulder stocks are used in addition.
Using two telescopes, perfect stere-
oscopic picture is obtained. The
full power of a man S vision is in use
while aiming. 1t is claimed that ac-
cidents which have so often occurred
should now be reduced to mini
mum, as one may easily distinguish
what he is aiming at.
Mr. Demele, the inventor, conceived
of the binocular telescope gun while
on an extensive hunting trip in north
ern Quebec. when he saw what ap-
peared to be bush moving in the
distance. With the aid of his field
glasses he detected the cause of it
to be a bear scratching the ground
in the dense brush. He dropped his
glass and raised his rifle for shot,
but missed his bear. as he expected.
This suggested to him the advantages
of being able to shoot with the aid
of a glass.
