During the months comprising the winter season and early spring known and referred to by a certain sportsman as the dormant" or "hsbernating" interim between his two fayorite pastime sports, good many of the boys resort to such fancies as fly-tying, cleaning and storing equipment, planning next seasons trips, and exchanging col orful stories of past experiences that actually, in some cases, never happened. Tn addition to these men- toned, there are many other inter" esting and profitable means in which the sportsman occupies his leisure time, but the one we have in mind, when and if the weather per- mits, is the unrestricted shooting sport of Pltnking, which simply means informal shooting with g twenty two rifle-a shooting sport which has virtually no rules except those invented on the spur of the moment.
 It has no restrictions as to targets. except those which happen to be handy. It has no restrictions as to the rifle you use so long as It's a twenty-two. The only rule or regu- lation of any sort which applies to blinking, is safety. Safety first and foremost, and at all times. In the interest of safety; caution, discre. ton and care should be exercised at all times when choosing @ target. even If the target is chosen on the spur of the moment These then, are all the rules necessary.
 Thus, informal shooting with the twenty two becomes a game for any or all. It may be played by boys with an afternoon to spare; by the members of a party enjoying a brisk winters day hike in the woods; by the fisherman as an off-season sideline; and especially by campers. Yes, by anyoLe that obeys and re- spects the rules and regulations of safety.
