Shooters should restrain their
impulses while out for wildlife,
suppress excitement when the
quarry flushes and be unmiStake-
sbly sure of the target before
squeezing the trigger.
Important as training in safe
gun handling may be, in the final
analysis the problem is emotional
control both in youngsters and
adults. The snap shooting hunters
must learn TO put on the brake,
and that one second wait to make
may mean the difference be-
tween safety and tragedy. After a

wish that a bullet could be called
back.
