—Let's Go Hunting— HUNTERS GIVEN SOME TIPS ON SHOOTING ART Lefty Figures Things Out in Split Seconds to Aid Boys in Field. BY LEFTY LEE Timet Hunting Editor Are you one of the hunters who “hold on” the game or do you "hold ahead”? Many good shots, by this we mean the nimrods who bring down the game with few wasted! shots, use both methods, but it ! wduld seem that the hunter who' ptefers to “hold ahead,” should have the advantage over his rival who “holds on." The following delays may be assumed to be unavoidable: /Time occupied in becoming aware ofcthe game, :01 to :06 second. ‘Time occupied in raising the gun, second. Time occupied in pulling trigger, :92 second. *Time occupied in igniting charge, :02 second. Time occupied in shot traveling forty yards, :14 second. The average speed at which the gfcme birds fly may be taken at f<jrty miles an hour, and a bird flyiijg across the shooter at that speed will have traveled about twelve iijrhes before the quickest shooter can have brought his gun into position and pulled the trigger. The shot traveling forty yards requires :J4 second, which means that the b|rd will have traveled close to ten ft and six inches, to the right or 16ft of the mark aimed at. This means that the muzzle of the barrel would be required to be more than three inches to the right or left of tfte line of aim. If the hunter were sfewer on the trigger, requiring :03 second rather than :02 second, the bird will have flown another sixteen inches than the distance stated above. Tven while the charge of shot, having left the muzzle, is on its wtoy sufficient time elapses for a fast flying bird to travel a considerable distance; for the first fifteen yards or so, it may be taken that for every yard the shot advances the bird t rfcvels two inches. The shot does npt maintain its high velocity and, providing the bird does, we have at j f&ty yards range nearly one inch I flown in the time the shot advances one foot. And at sixty yards one j and one-half inches flown for the j advance of each foot, by the shot. -Allowing :05 second as the time necessary for performing the in- I voluntary and voluntary actions of J seeing the mark, determining to ! shoot, raising the gun and firing, and also the small fraction of time required for the ignition and combustion of the powder and its passage through the barrel, we find with the 12-bore and standard charge at fifteen yards range, a bird traveling at forty miles an hour wall have traversed six feet before the shot reaches that range from the gun. It at twenty yards, then the bird wjUl have traveled six feet six inches; thirty yards, eight feet nine inches; forty yards, eleven feet five inches: fifty yards, fourteen feet eight inches and sixty yards, nineteen feet four inches. A great deal of difference is caused by the manner of bringing up the *.un. Some sportsmen acquire the habit of bringing up the gon with a swing in the direction the mark is moving; others bring up the gun and follow the object, while the majority of good shots put up the gun and are supposed ti jerk it ahead of the game and fife before the latter motion has erased. Those who shoot with the gfin on the swing, and increase the speed of the swing so that the gun races the game, and beats it, never are required to "hold ahead.” Those v*ho “hold on,” by shooting prompt- j IS. prove the truth of the theory that it is necessary for the hand and ejfces to act in unison, while those who “hold ahead.” although agreei)3jg that the hand must follow the efr. yet so shoot that the hand must pfcint the gun in a different direction from the object on which the c jfc is fixed. A sportsman may be a first rate and yet be unable to explain how he has acquired an unerring atpi. The novice who wishes to become a good shot must observe carefully and practice constantly. The ability to shoot well is a gift to some, and though it may be acquired by all, it is possible only to indicate j lyjw the skillful use of the shotgun ! ntay be developed. The writer's personal experience leads more to high powdered rifles and target pistols, but we also have learned that if I "ypuare adept with these guns, shot- j gun shooting is fairly easy to learn.

Bomar Cramer to Be Guest Soloist With Symphony at Concert Tonight
If anticipation Is any proof of a musical pudding, tonight's concert of the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra at the Murat should be a huge success. The program itself Is one that attracts much attention, and in addition, Bomar Cramer, famed pianist, will be guest soloist. Mr. Cramer's splendid success in his recital last week at Caleb Hills hall has added interest to the interest in tonight’s concert. Mr. Cramer will be soloist for the playing of "A Minor Concerto, Op. 54.” His appearance with the symphony should be sufficient to pack the Murat. Ferdinand Schaeffer, conductor, will open the program with Wagner’s overture to “Faust.” Following the Schumann concerto, the orchestra will play Hayden's “Surprise Symphony No. 6, G Minor. ’ In the group of the last three numbers, Mr. Schaeffer has remembered to place Johann Strauss’ Blue Danube waltz, which always will be a favorite the world over. The program will include “Canzonetta, Op. 62” for strings, by Jean Sibelius, and Liadow’s “Une Tabatiere a Musique, Op. 32” for woodwinds, bells and harp. This second concert of the season for the Symphony looks like the biggest musical program that the organization has ever given.
