Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gun: Afield and Afloat: With Thirteen Full-Page Plates and Upwards of Thirty Illustrations in the Text
Thorough education and training are as essential towards insuring the proper handling of the gun as they are in all other directions. There is no royal road to the art of shooting, neither any such thing as a born shot - albeit it is indisputable that certain individuals become proficient in the handling of the shot-gun much more readily than do others. The man anxious to become a good and safe shot should be aware that an acquaintance with the maxims and precepts, as also the acquirement of a certain amount of skill in the manual portion of the art of shooting, do not comprise the whole of the necessary education. There may, for instance, be various idiosyncrasies of temperament to overcome.
