HOW
SHOOTT
Is By Bob Nichols \
La Sbootins Editor. Field and StreamM
SOME upland gunners become
goW shots In spite of the fact
that tnelr guns do not fit them.
What happens in their case Is that
through years of practice they fit
themselves to their badly fitting
guns. This makes learning a slow
process. They would become bet
ter shots in shorter time if they
began with a gun that really fitted
them.
If yon already have a shotgun,
here is an interesting test you can
make to see how near it comes to
fitting you:
Get about half a dozen sheets of
dark colored paper. Black building
paper such as Is used in the walls
of frame dwellings is excellent for
the purpose. The sheets should bo
about three feet square.
Select a site for your testing
ground that has an absolutely safe
background. You are going to make
your test at night The darker the
night the better for your purpose.
But you must make sure that no
living thing will be endangered by
your test shooting.
Against ChlSjSafe background yon
now set up a light framework for
your target sheets. Two 2 by 4'a
about six feet long may be driven
into the ground about 30 inches
apart Drive them In Just so that
they make a secure support.
Now take a tin can, and cut a
hole in its side about IV4 inches In
dlitmeter and near the bottom. At
tach to the top edge of the tin can
two pieces of wire, long enough to
suspend the can from each 2 by 4
so that the hole in the can hangs
directly behind the center of the
black target sheet when It has been
tacked lightly to the 2 by 4 posts.
Cut a small hole in the center of
the target sheet, so that when you
place a small bit of -lighted candle
in the bottom of the can the light
will shine through. And this tiny
spot of light is all that you should
see when you stand back about 15
yards, gun In hand, ready to make
your test *
The night must be so dark, and
the candlelight must be so dim that
you are quite unable to see your
gun barrel. For your test shots
must not be aimed consciously.
They must be pointed Instinctively.
In making the test, place only one
shell in your gun. Bring your gun
to shoulder deliberately and tire
quickly. Keep your eyes Intently
on ttie small spot of light Tour
eyes will guide your hands. Re
member that the object Is not to hit
the center of the target conscious
ly. What you are really after is to
see whether your gun fits you well
enough so that In your hands it
points on the target unconsciously
and Instinctively.
After your first shot, go up and
tack on another target Shoot three
targets before examining the re
sults too closely. If you are con
ducting the test correctly, all three
shots should strike in approximate
ly the same sector on each of your
targets. .
If the shot? show a tendency to
be under the "bull's-eye" your gun
has too much drop at the heel of
the stock, or too much pitch down
ward at the barrel. Or both faults
may be present Unscrew the butt
plate and try a couple more shots
with the gun this way. The usual
butt-plate adds somewhat to the
gun's pitch.
If your first three shots are over
the "bull's-,eye" then It is probable
that your gun-stock is too straight
and has too little drop at the heel.
Or it may be that the comb is a
trifle too high to suit you. Or
again, it may mean that you are
raising your head as you shoot—a
bad habit that will always make
one over-shoot. But If your gun
shoots only a trifling two or three
inches directly above the "bull's
eye"—let It alone. An upland gun
should shoot this way to help catch
up with the rl»e of the bird you
have flushed.
If your gun shoots regularly to
the left, your stocß may be too long,
or you may be holding out too far
on the barrel. If to the right, your
stock may be too short or you may
be holding in too far on the barrel.
Try it!

Find Two Sets of Forces
Cause Bands of Jupiter
Study of the bands and spots of
the planet Jupiter has convinced
scientists the changes in them are
caused by two sets of forces— the
tidal forces of Jupiter's moons and
t9ie changes in the intensity of sun
light. These solar changes also
control earthly weather so astron
omers are now studying them to de
termine if weather on earth can be
forecast by the changes In the
bands and spots on the distant
planet.
Looking at Jupiter through a tele
scope, light and dark bands of a
brown or reddish color may be seen.
Previous to 1926 these stripes were
simple, thin bands very similar to
stripes painted on a rubber ball but
In two years' time they changed,
and after 1928 they appeared as ir
regular dark bands and had many
Isolated dark spots.
Now these bands appear to be
changing back to their old-time for
{nation.
