Excerpt from Belle Scott: Or Liberty Overthrown! A Tale for the Crisis Better let the deer go, without a shot at it, than to shoot and miss. Don't get too close; you will kill oftener at seventy-five yards, than at fifty; because at fifty, you will be too confident and miss your aim. When you are ready, point your rifle down to the fore-foot of the deer and raise slowly till you get it ranged with the breast of the animal; then move it about an inch or two back hold it firmly, fire, and the game will be yours. Thank you, captain, I'll follow your directions to the letter, and I have no doubt but that I will succeed?'
