rksman, he is one who can hold his own anywhere with theshot-gun, be it in the butts on the moors, the covert-side, orthe open stubble. The game-shot pure and simple, however,as a general rule, makes poor work at wildfowl, when introducedto the sport, and in nine cases out of ten cannot hit a * flighting duck for the very life of him. There may be exceptions inboth cases, but we do not insist on them. A gunning sports-man is ever naturally inclined to speak most favourably of hisspecial liking, whichever branch of shooting it may be. Per-sonally, we are fond of all kinds of common shooting carriedout on sportsmanlike lines, whether it be at clay or live birdsfrom traps, driven or walked-up game, rabbiting, shore-shoot-ing, wildfowling, or practice with the rifle. Of course, wehave our preference ; yet, because this is so, we hope no onewill think we imagine our preference should bias the generalopinion that ours is the finest form of shooting (even if itis) simply because we think so.
