A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A ny sport which tends to keep our boys in the open is undoubtedly a good thing for the coming generation. The rod and the gun are neither of them instruments for indoor use, consequently a book devoted to the proper use of rod and gun is a book which tends to send our young people to the field, the forest, the river, and the lake; which tends to brighten their eyes, strengthen their muscles, and to quicken their perception and their selfreliance. We must remember that all boys yes, every one of them will pick up the first firearm that comes within reach, and the danger of such an act is in proportion to the amount of their previous study and training in the handling and use of firearms. A well written book on the subject of the gun and rod is a much safer guide than the personal direction of some one who does not know. Almost all the deplorable accidents with firearms are the result of lack of proper training among those who use these weapons.
