To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If we shoot at long distances, or at very small or very large birds, it will be necessary to make a change in the size of shot used. For very long ranges, 44 SHOOTING ON THE WING.
Nos. 3, 2, and even i, may sometimes prove serviceable. Indeed, we have seen teal ducks brought to bag with BB shot ; but in this case the chances were very greatly in favor of the duck. One of these large pellets striking a bird in a vital part, will kill even at a distance of one hundred yards, but the chances again...st hitting are as a thousand to one. Upon this point, "The Dead Shot" makes the fol- lowing sensible remarks: "The chances are six to one against killing a sparrow, either sitting or flying, at thirty yards, with No. 4 shot; whereas, with the same gun, at the same distance, a sparrow may be killed with certainty, either sitting or flying, with No. 10 shot. " There are, however, special circumstances under which it is advisable to violate this rule ; and to select, if possible, a size of shot which will answer for several kinds of game.
