Han. F. Ray Keyser, Jr.
Governor of Vermont
WE IN VERMONT have always been jealous of our right to bear arms. I have no
reason to expect that this philosophy will be marred by legislation.
Han. Terry Sanford

Governor of North Carolina
As one of the thirteen original colonies, North Carolina maintains the moral and legal
concept that the right to keep and bear sporting arms is one of the fundamental privileges
granted by our American Democracy.
This privilege should be infringed upon only when deemed necessary, through the
will of the people in a democratic action, to insure public safety or to prescribe the
manner of taking game. We do not anticipate any legislation abrogating these premises.
Han. Elmer L. Andersen

Governor of Minnesota
Legislation impinging on the right to bear arms has from time to time been intro-
duced in our legislature. To my knowledge these bills have met with little or no success.
No legislation of this character has yet been introduced in the present session of the
legislature, nor do I have any knowledge of any likelihood of this happening. In the
event of the introduction of any bill of this nature, I have every confidence that the legis-
lators will recognize it if it is to be of a nuisance character, and dispose of it accordingly.
I do not propose to change the traditional stand of the State of Minnesota on this

URING WORLD WAR 2, we set Ul? an Officer's Can-

D didate School in England. The bright lads sifted
through this mill had to do some shooting, and it fell to
my lot to teach 'em. A part of the course was range
estimation. A lieutenant as platoon leader has got to be
able to adjust mortar fire, and if you aren't pretty savvy
on range distances your first round can be 'way over and
alert the enemy as to what is coming. Too, you are called
upon to adjust BAR and machine gun fire and, on occa-
sion, call down artillery and tank cannon support. Range
estimation can make or break you.
We set up at Shrivenham a series of targets which varied
from 75 yards to 2250 yards, with a dozen intermediate
marks. The distances' were all chained, and my sergeant

target detection. All we were trying to do was to teach our
laddy-o how to guestimate his gun-to-enemy ranges.
We found out a lot of things during that OCS interlude.
Mostly we found that the average American doesn't have
the foggiest idea how many inches there are in a foot, nor
how many feet constitute a yard; and when distance starts
stretching out in front of him, he can't come within a fur-
long at a half-mile of telling you the correct range. And
just !n case you, like a lot of other people, don't know
how far a furlong is-it is one-eighth of a mile, or 220
yards. We had young buckos who wanted to lead troops
to battle who would look at the 1000-yd target and guess
it was a mile. We had others who looked at the silhouette
of a tank at 2250 yards-good tank-target range-and
calculate it was anywhere from two miles to 2V2 miles.
We had one chappie who measured everything in blocks.
The nearest mark, the silhouette of an enemy, at a meas-
ured 75 yards he decided was two blocks distant. When he
got out to those many targets which we had positioned from
200 to 350 yards, extremely important distances for the
combat rifleman, his city-block estimates got a mite crude.
As might be expected, those fellows who had been raised
in the country showed a great deal more skill and accu-
racy than the city raised chap when it came to range esti-
mation. Eveh so, their estimates .Jeft a lot to be desired.
Up to 350 yards, the average of the country-boy candidates
showed an error of 20 per cent; and out to 2250 yards,
this error increased to 35 per cent. At 600 yards, there was
an average error of 22 per cent. This means a poor guess
of 132 yards, either over or under.
We ran 362 city-raised candidates through the OCS
before I quit the school to go on the African invasion. My
records show that up to 350 yards, these young soldiers
averaged errors of 28 per cent (Continued on page 39)

By RUSSELL TINSLEY
A NIMAL CALLING IS one of our fastest growing hunting sports. Many

.I\.. factors have contributed to its phenomenal upswing, but perhaps the
two basic ones are these: it is a shooting sport which can be enjoyed
throughout the year, and commercial calls have put predator calling within
the ability of anyone.
But, as with any other type' hunting, game calling has its finer points-
and its experts. Two of the very best in the business are the Burnham
brothers, Murry and Winston, of Marble Falls, Texas. Their father pio-
neered the sport. Here are some secrets that two generations of calling
have produced.

CALLS ARE AMAZINGLY
SUCCESSFUL EVEN IN UNPRACTICED

TIPS FROM EXPERTS THAT WILL
PRODUCE EVEN BIGGER
HUNTING THRILLS
To hunt predators with handgun takes gun skill

and lots of patience, plus a special method of
calling. If unsuccessful at first, vary your calls.
call. Sometimes Reynard will act downright stupid in his

eagerness to get at the source of that tantalizing racket.
Anyone can call a fox that has never been fooled by a
human before, but to outwit one a second time is doubly
tough. It doesn't take him long to learn the facts of life.
This is where more advanced know-how often spells the
difference between success and a lot of wasted effort.
There are other meat-hungry predators like coyotes and
bobcats. They'll be attracted to the rabbit-in-distress cry,
but they are more cautious than a fox and consequently
are more difficult to coax within gunshot range. A tyro
caller often fails with coyotes and bobcats, simply because
he doesn't understand their behavior and their reactions to
the game call. Fooling these cagey killers requires a sk..ill
that many hunters have neither the patience nor leisure
to master.
There is one sure-fire method of bringing a fox to you
on the double. Start blowing on the call strongly and keep
with it steadily, covering the countryside with the high-
pitched banshee wail. When a fox hears this weird crying,
it comes a-running to the source as if hypnotized. But it
might come sailing in, take a brief look, turn, and take off
in high gear. That's the chance you take when you try to
trick 'em in a hurry.
This is the call beginners prefer because it gets action
quickly. But sometimes it isn't the best way, particularly
if you are hoping to lure a fox close enough to drop it with
a handgun. Then it requires a more subtle approach.
Blow on the call briefly, then pause for a few moments and

GUNS • FEBRUARY 1962

For our trip, Belli bought a fairly creditable
Land Rover and rented an Italian truck which
was undoubtedly a relic from Mussolini's
defeat. We left the picturesque Somalia capital
of Mogadiscio and drove south towards tpe
Giuba River valley to spend three weeks for
desert elephant. We crossed the Giuba on a
bridge which the Italians had built, and set up
our camp at the small border town of Beles
Cogani, near the northern Kenya frontier.
The elephants we hunted were watering at a
pond some 20 miles south of Beles Cogani, or
at the Giuba River some 50 miles to the north.
By hunting the area in between, we hoped to
get a look at the big bulls which might be
using either of these water sources. In this
same country were a number of Somali camps
Somali, former Italian colony, offers some outstanding hunting consisting of a half-dozen or so dome-shaped
possibilities. The gazelle on left is found only in desert area grass-covered huts_ The Somalis, like the
and Grants gazelles come big in this arid, unspoiled country. desert animals themselves, seemed to be able
to exist on little or no water. Their goats and
cattle are driven many miles to water every
three days; their camels water about once a
week.
The Somali herdsmen were our best source
of elephant information. The Somalis used to
hunt elephants with poisoned arrows, selling
the ivory to Arab traders, so they know
elephants. From these same Arab traders, the
Somalis long ago acquired the Mohammedan
religion and the loose dress of the typical
Arab. For as far back as their tradition has
any record, the Somalis have been herdsmen.
The basis of their wealth is camels.
At a few of the Somali encampments, we
heard about elephants. Mostly, however, the
Somalis told us about lions, and particularly
about one lion which was eating their camels.
Meat in the Somali bush is a much desired commodity and giraffe There were plenty of elephant in the country,
meat is best liked by the natives who are herdsmen and hunters. and plenty of lions too. We often heard the
coughing roar of hunting lions in the distance
as we sat around camp in the evening. But I
could work up little enthusiasm for the desert
lions of the Giuba country. They make a poor
trophy. Generally the desert lion is scrawny,
yellow in color, and the males have little or
no mane. Belli and I were after a big desert
elephant bull carrying a hundred pound~ or
more of ivory in each tusk. We learned finally
that the Somalis had see~ an elephant of this
size around Tabda, which is what they call the
water hole south of Beles Cogani.
For two weeks we continued to hunt ele-
phants, and continued to hear about lions.
The hawk-nosed sergeant of police of Beles
Cogani came into our camp one evening and
told again of the single lion that was killing
camels. "This one lion," the sergeant said
gravely, "has killed 11 camels and a bullock
near the Tabda water." And then he added as
a clincher, "One may purchase a beautiful
young wife with six camels."
Elephant herds are plentiful and heavy ivory is not all gone. Three days later, the sergeant of police was

SHOOTING IS FUN FOR EVERYONE. AND
FAMILIES WHO SHARE IT FIND IN
IT STILL OTHER BENEFITS
Practice trap is cocked by adult, bird released by ten

year old daughter. Angle of flight is easily changed.
By BOB WALLACK
T EACHING YOUR KIDS to shoot is as much fun

for you as it is for them. Shooting helps .to give
them poise, teaches timing and coordination. Besides,
it gives the youngsters something they can hook their
thumbs in their vests and brag about to young friends.
Clay birds are very inexpensive and are carried by
most sporting goods stores. A hand trap costs little more
than a case of targets, and a bigger, practice trap can be
bought for around $35. A place to shoot is never very
hard to find. You'll need at least 200 yards of open
space in the direction you'll be shooting . . . that's
roughly the maximum range of bird shot in any gun
Author's daughter does well with 0410, will try the 20 from .410 to 10 gauge. You can set up your "range" for
gauge next year. Vandalia might well be her next stop. trap, or skeet, or just for shooting, as pictured here.
Mom too takes her turn and calls for the bird. Just as
picture was snapped, she broke bird with good lead.
If the youngsters are big enough, start them with a

20 gauge gun ... a .410 throws so few shot it's really a
gun for the expert. Yet, the very young must use a .410.
You'll also find that while a youngster, and this is par-
ticularly true with girls, fears recoil and noise, shooting
at a moving target seems to eliminate these fears. Be
sure they have either a shoulder-padded coat or a couple
heavy shirts and ear plugs.
Just one word of warning for dad: don't even con-
sider this as a family sport unless you're willing to be
whipped! The kids learn fast, and they'll be beating you
after a few sessions. They learn other things also-that
dad and mother are fun to be with for example. ~ Practice trap, costing around $35, can mean much fun for

Another time, we were floating along the
shoreline of Lake Falcon near the Texas-
Mexico border, calling. Coyotes evidently
never expected the cry to come from the
water, for they trotted right down to water's
edge with no visible fear whatsoever. We've
tried the same trick while drifting down a
slow-moving Mexican river, and the coyotes
would run right along the shore to see what

Then Murry suggested that we try something
new-all blow on our game calls simultan-

most awful racket you can imagine, but it
was a real golden idea. Coyotes literally tried
to crawl all over us. Since then, we've used
the trick successfully on foxes and bobcats
in our central Texas bailiwick.
The basic rabbit-in-distress cry with a
commercial call is fairly easy to master. But
it usually isn't the call itself which makes
a difference anyway. It is the variety in tone.

Two of the cardinal rules of game calling
are-remain still and hidden-and be sure
the breeze is blowing into your face so that
incoming game won't detect your scent. The
wind is one of the real important considera-
tions in calling. Still, cool days and nights are
best, since the call will carry a long way
under optimum conditions. The more wind
velocity, the more of a handicap it becomes.
It keeps the call from carrying for long dis-
tances in alI directions. To keep hidden we've·.
found camouflage clothing to be helpful, even
at night. Many callers associate hiding only
with daytime calling. During nightfall it is
equally as important, particularly in moon-
light when the animals can spot the caller's
silhouette. When the moon is up, even if it
is only a faint sliver of orange in the black

This pistol team has no secret short-cut to
pistol superiority. Their doctrine of good
marksmanship technique is summed up in,
"Diligent attention to sight picture and trig-
ger squeeze while in the steadiest position
are considered to be the prime factors in
attaining best scores."
Close attention is paid to stance, grip, and
analysis of hits, but individuals are permitted
considerable leeway in the use of techniques
and methods best suited to themselves. Some
of their routine training practices that have
merit are:
1. Double hand grip at 7 yard hipshooting
and 25 yards barricade positions.
2. Precise timing of all stages.
3. Concentration on weakest stages for in-
tensive training.
4. Lining holsters with metal, smoking
sights, and smoothing revolver actions.

DEDICATED TO
THE = LU AND THE GRAY

CIVIL WAR CENTENNIAL MODEL
From Manassas to Gettysburg to Appomattox,
both Yank and Johnny Reb saw their duty
and did it ... more often than not with the Colt .44
1860 Army. So, a hundred years later it is fitting that a replica
of that gun become the Civil War Centennial Model now offered by Colt.
Scaled Ys size in single shot, .22 cal. short, the Centennial
Model is presented in royal blue with gold-plated strap,
and trigger guard ... the single $32.50. Consecutive
serial numbered matched pair $59.50.
