Bruce disliked a light gun, and carried a heavy ten-gage, notwithstanding the fact that trap-shooting rules required the users of such guns to shoot from a longer distance.

"Was it an earthquake ?" asked Bink, falling back on the ground.

"He'll be wanting to shoot a Krupp gun next!" "Watch me this time!" said Danny, as he stepped into position.

"It's easier for me to do difficult things.

If those traps would only throw out a dozen birds at once, I'd show you some nice work!" "Yes, you might get one out of the whole flock," said Diamond.
