Download or read book Shooting for Boys Classic Reprint written by A. Frederick Collins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shooting for Boys You ought to be a shooter, for shooting is the greatest sport in the world. By this I do not mean that you should hunt dumb and harmless things with a rifle or a shotgun, for this is a far cry from true sport, and no shooter with a drop of sportsman's blood in his veins would do it. But to be able to draw a bead on the bullseye of a swinging target at, say, twenty-five yards and hit it nine times out of ten, or to stand on a firing-line where clay pigeons are thrown by a trap at a speed twice as swift as real pigeons fly and to break them one after another, is what I call a sportsman's sport in every sense of the word.

Download or read book Why Should Boys Be Taught to Shoot Classic Reprint written by George W. Wingate and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why Should Boys Be Taught to Shoot? Jackson's Tennesseans at New Orleans. The result was that they withstood an overwhelm ing force of drilled and disciplined British troops (who were not at all bad shots) for many months, and were only conquered at a terrible expenditure of life and treasure. Yet while the Boers changed the military axiom that One man behind a breastwork can keep off three outside, to one to six, and sometimes to one to ten, the Japanese stormed similar works with equal forces - because the Russians who held them had not been taught to shoot. The reader of General Ian Hamilton's Scrap Book of a Staff Officer who so vividly depicts the japanese-russian Campaign, cannot but be impressed by his constant references to how much more formidable opponents the Boers would have been than the Russians were.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shooting Aspects and ambition pants in vain in the foot steps Of the masters. You may know some fair district Of England well, yet you are ever stum bling on forgotten field paths, with stiles that are hidden from sight by the black-thorn and traveller's joy. And in the familiar walks through field and covert, fresh scenes and sights are always presenting themselves, with the changes of the hours, the weather, and the seasons. So it is with the subject of shooting. Wander through it where you will, you can hardly go far astray, for it is a passion that irresistibly appeals to the Briton. It is idle to argue as to the inhumanity of field sports, for the instinct is ineradicable in all manly races. Providence would never have implanted it, had it clashed with the conscience. Bacon has told us that travel is a part of education. We may go far ther as to field sports, and say that in themselves they are a manly education. AS they exercise the body, they develop the mind, and awaken, though it may be insensibly and unconsciously, the poetry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wounded Boy: And Other Stories Hark! I wonder if that isn't Harry Lee, with the fowling-piece his uncle sent him as a birth-day present? Said Freeman Dale, as the report of a gun startled him from the book which he had been for some time reading. Yes, mother, there he is, continued the boy; and he has shot a bird. Let me go a gunning with him, won't you? I'm afraid you'll get hurt. Guns are very dangerous things in the hands even of men, much more, thoughtless, careless boys. Suppose you were to get shot? Said the boy's mother. There isn't a bit of danger, re plied Freeman, eagerly. Not a bit of danger. Harry knows how to shoot as well as a man. And I've fired off a gun many a time. We'll be very careful. Harry's father and mother are not afraid to let him go out a gunning, and I don't see why you should be afraid to let me go. There's no danger. If not to you, there is a great deal of danger to the dear little innocent birds, said Mrs. Dale. Freeman laughed at this. He thought his mother jesting. But it was not so. Mrs. Dale was in earnest. The beautiful birds' How could you think of hurting them? They never harm ed you, nor any one, she said, with a se rions expression of countenance. Bang! Went the gun again, and in a mo ment afterward a bird fell upon upon the ground near the window. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
