What reading level is The Wild Fowler a Treatise On Ancient And Modern Wild Fowling Historical And book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The success or failure of the punter's expeditions depend mainly on this important consideration ; for it must be obvious to every one, that unless the punt-gun lies in a position bearing- accurately upon the object fired at, the shot will be ineffective. Now it would seem an easy matter to place a gun, whether heavy or not, in such a position upon the head of a punt, as to be at all times in a direct line with the object to be fired at. It is, however, by no means so simple a task as many woul...d suppose ; and, as it is one particularly demand- ing- explanation, it will be our purpose to describe minutely the whole art. And, for this purpose, a knowledge of trigonometry will be found very useful to*the punter, and enable him the sooner to acquire the art of rightly adjusting his gun on the head of the punt.
In the first place, the punter must remember that his gun is not so light and handy a weapon as to be capable of being* moved about with the facilities of a shoulder-piece ; and when he is lying flat on his chest on the floor of the punt, working his way towards a number of wild-fowl, he cannot then shift his gun, nor can he, in an ordinary way, alter the elevation, but must fire it from the position in which it is placed; and which, unless he is an experienced punter, is more likely to be too high or too low than to be exactly right.
