Movable Targets.

There is a good deal of talk of rifle shooting at movable targets these days. Most people imagine that, in order to hit anything with a rifle, a man must have a solid rest and take a long aim. Such is not the fact. The best rifle shots at game seldom take a rest, except at long distances. After a little practice it is as easy to hit a slowly moving object with a rifle as a still one. The secret of all shooting is to get your gun in the right place, and then let her go in a flash. It is quite as easy to kill a running rabbit with a rifle as with a shotgun, but so few people have tried it that it is not widely known. —Lincoln (Neb.) Democrat.
