"TACKHOLE'' LEE GIVES SOME
ADVICE ON RIFLE SHOOTING
Worlds Greatest Au-Around Shot Tells What
Must Be Done To Become Proficient
In Shooting

In slow target work pull Cor rather
squeezed the trigger. when satisfied you
are on center or around center.
Firing-Extreme care should be taken
in target work to see that the grip on
the rifle is in exactly the same place
each shot,
Take the same amount Of breath into
tho lungs each time.
Don't inhale enough air to almost
burst your lungs: be natural and nhale
only enough to last you about 10 seconds
Otherwise the heart action is affected
and makes itself felt as n subdued pound
ing in the head and chest
In slow fire, whers plenty of time is
given. don't fire untif you feel sure your
aim is right,
Don't pun the trigger; squeeze it slow
ly and gradually. Lay the right thumb
alongside the tang instead of wrapped
over the top of it ito reduce tremor in
tn emuscles OF the hand.
Get the stock in the same position on
the shoulder each time.
Get in as comfortable position as pos
sihle and don't wear clothes that eramp
anywhere.
The idea is to get everything off your
mind except thoroughly concentrated
desire to put that bullet into the ten
ring. True. you can't wish" them there,
but you can't talk politics, munich an
apple and shoot tens at the same time
For Outdoor Shooting.
For outdoor shooting In regular match
es at so yards rapid fire and 100 yards
slow fire, telescope sights are allowed
although a large number prefer plain
iron sights, just as used indoors,
Personally l prefer the scope and for
the round 4inch bull at 100 yards (2-inch
circle to count ten), ! have always used
the scope, preferably with an aperture
sight
At SO yards rapid fire, / use repeater
and cross hair scope.
The telescope sight does not assist In
holding at all--rather increases the APP
parent difficulty, because II magnfles
the 'tremble" Of the rifle as much as
i apparently decreases the distance OF
the tr.rget
For snap shooting at moving objects.
light repeater should be used. 1 prefer
barrel not over "a inches long (handles
quicker and easier) fitted with a plain
ivory or gold bead front sight, and n
peep sight back of the hammer, with a
large aperture; the larger the better,
even up to LIS of ninch
Opinions vary as TO the time to shoot
an object in the air, If thrown up or
straight away. Some shoot the instant
the object reaches the zenith of it's up
ward flight and starts bach, when v
seems to~ parse Ia il.e ar,
Others allow it 10 start to descend and
aim slightly under it,
70 aim directly at tho object would
cause oyer-shooting every time

speed by swapping on an empty shell
at various objects about the room.
