plum Should on.
:Tbarc are a number at reasons, in my
omwhy every lady who has the time,
, menus: and the opportunity should
. , , ‘ jueol firearms.
' , rodent years woman has been de-
Who I crest extent from participating
Ill many sports, pastimes and recreations
Min times past were looked upon as
only for the opposite sex. '
Now, however. that her right to enjoy
7W of these healthy diversions, especially
,flltleoian out oi door nature, are fully rec-
, , I believe that such diversions
, , d be taken advantage of to the fullest
II.
ldohot wish to be understood to mean
bythisgtbat Women should sacrifice home
‘Illd Wily duties merely for outside pleas-
are, ‘ that.teeling how true it is that
. ‘goes a great way toward making
bone lilo happy. no opportunity should be
lootvby my sex of indulging in outdoor
atofiee healthy in their tone and results
mdwomanly in their character.
Under this category the use of firearms
! lports. pastimes and recreations. which are
‘ , rule, bring one out into the open, where not
y the fresh air may he. breathed, but oft—
, times the beauties of nature be also en-
, oyedr
If only as the means of benefiting the
health. the use of firearms by woman is
therefore well worth learning. Then. again.
shooting is‘ not only a healthy recreation,
but a pleasurable one, and one in which
. both body and mind are brought into ac-
tivity—the body in wielding or handling
the weapon and the mind in exercising
or“
judgment when aiming and firing at an oh-
800
When learning the use of firearms, a
woman learns at the same time confidence
and self messiah, for these qualities, to-
gether with good eyesight, nerve and judg—
ment. are necessary in the handling of a
gunor a revolver with anything like pre-
‘ cilio‘n or accuracy.
And are not these qualities of use also in
daily life and therefore all the more Worthy
of cultivation?
Further. every lady who has the chance
should learn the use of firearms, so that
she may be able to protect herself in times
of danger.
It isacommon remark that woman's only
weapon is her tongue, but though this
might have been true ball z). century ago, it
is not so true now, {or are not many ladies
nowadays accomplished shots and icnccrs
and proficient in exercises, a knowledge of
which is likely to prove useful in time of
need for self protection?
Still the vast majority of my sex are
greatly handicrqqned when dunner comes,
and, in my opinion, at least one great moans
whereby she can do something to equalize
matters is by learning to handle a gun or
revolver—the latter of course being: the
easier to carry and the Illlll'k' likely toprovc
useful in the greater numIn-r of instances.
And now, having given one or twu rea-
sons Why H ludysliould learn the use of
rms, I will proceed to give a few hints
”to the best method which, in my opin-
bn, she should pursue in acquiring a knowl-
ge of the some. ,
There is no royal road to shooting, justus
there is no royal road to knowledge. Some
people follow one system and some another,
but all have the same object in View-nume-
ly, the acquiring of n certainumount of
proficiency in handling and using the
weapon, be it rifle, revolver or shiigun.
It is not in the capacity of all to become
first class shots, but by dint of hard work
and perseverencc any lady should be able to
learn how to use lircrmns~ with some degree
of skill.
It is best to commence. 1 should say, by
using a light :33 caliber single shot rillc, uu-
loaded. and practicing by pointing or nim-
ing at a mark with it a few hundred limo-s,
care being always tnkcn to kerpthc mus/Jo
from pointing toward yourself or any on.-
else.
Having learned how to bundle tlu- riilc
with ease, you should commence to shoot
atagootl sized mark. having some friend
who is acquainnxd wuli tin» use of tin-onus
always by your Hlill.‘ to give proper inst m“:
tions.
It is best to learn in this way, as you can
learn much (illli‘kcl‘ than by ymu'sclf, and
at the same time you will not. fall into
many errors which you would be upt oi lic:‘~
wise to do.
Extra care is required in bundling the
revolver, as its more complicated than the
rifle, and it in: short. you are more apt
towel. the muzzle in adungerous position.
More time will also be necessary in burning
how to use it.
The rcvolw-r will always be handy when
traveling to those who cum to carry it. as
it gives a tooling of security against (lungs-r
and attack that repay» the troubleo! mic
ing it about, especially to those journeying
alone. ,
Having become proficient in tho um: of
therlllemld rm divergyour next stop should
be to learn how to bundle the shotgun.
