Father thought that it would be useful.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Very useful; and you must learn to shoot well with them, and with fowling-piece and rifle. What with river thieves, and dacoits, and wild tribes--to say nothing of wild beasts--a man who travels about, as I do, wants to be able to shoot straight. The straighter you shoot, the less likely you are to have to do so. I have come to be a good shot myself and, whenever we row up a river, I constantly practise--either at floating objects in the water, or at birds or other marks in the trees.","brand":"Dons Ebooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47149487292656,"sku":"2940151164245","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151164245_p0.jpg?v=1764006957","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151164245","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
