T-A photo Host Stratford, Sunday at 2 p.m. Knowledge needed in gun purchases By BILLMcNUTT Jets finally heat Perths, Thorpe The Lucan-Ilderton Jets won only one game in three starts this week in the On­ tario Hockey Association Continental senior league but it was against one of their toughest opponents. In Stratford Tuesday night the Jets who have continual­ ly had trouble putting the puck past Dennis Thorpe in the Perths net finally crack­ ed their nemesis. The Jets scored three times in each of the first and second periods on the way to a 7-3 win and forced the Stratford management to pull Thorpe and put in a replacement. The Lucan-Ilderton club was not so fortunate on the weekend as they dropped home and home games to the Woodstock Royals. The Royals triumphed by a score of 5-2 in Ilderton Fri­ day night and continued their mastery over the Jets with a 5-4 decision Sunday in Woodstock. This week the Jets will be in Preston Friday night to meet the Jesters and Sunday afternoon they will be at the Ilderton arena at 2 p.m. to meet the Stratford Perths.

Sunday, the Royals took an early lead and held on to withstand a last period rush by the Jets. Ray Tilley and Mike Brodie scored for Woodstock' in the opening frame while Greg Roberts replied for the Jets on an un­ assisted effort. Each team scored once in the middle session. Bob Gloin hit for Woodstock and Jamie Robb was the Jets marksman with assists go­ ing to Dave Revington and Brian Murphy.

Exeter, Ontario 235-2140 readily without enforcing strict safety rules. Carelessly used, these guns can kill humans at ranges up ‘ to 1 miles. Some people shoot at birds and squirrels in trees thus sending bullets on a journey where no one knows the end. The lead bullets are of the type which ricochet easily. Many shooters like to shoot a floating object and rocks. Both of these will also result in an unknown bullet flight. Now looking to the shotgun we find a firearm which makes a lot of noise. This tends to help it gain respect. Put this together with the fact that past 200 yards shot from a shotgun will do no more harm than hail and you have a gun which helps reduce the number of ac­ cidents. One thing to remember about a shotgun is that at ten yards or less there is no more deadly a firearm. Probably the best all round gun for a beginner is a 20 gauge pump shotgun with an adjustable choke. This would be true whether it be a 12 year old boy, your wife or 20 year old son. The 20 gauge gun is nearly as powerful as a 12 gauge but has much less recoil, is lighter and easier to handle. Shells are readily available and come in a very wide range of loads. I am not saying that a 20 gauge magnum load will not have as much recoil as a 12 gauge because it does; but the lighter loads available for the 20 do produce much less recoil and still give an adequate shot pattern to produce good hits. Both Mossburg Winchester make pump shotguns in 20 gauge which run around $150 new. Single shots are not a good choice for they are of poor design and even the .410 gauge can be punishing to shoot. Many a young shooter has found a black and blue shoulder from. fir/ing these guns. It can be quite discouraging especially to women. Single shot guns are generally full choke which is also a very poor choice for a beginner. The .410 gauge is likewise a poor choice for a beginner. Due to the small amount of shot fired fro: .410 they are < with, even for the expert.* * * There are bigger things than money — bills, for in­ stance. H w/ i Fri., Dec. 15 A gun for Christmas! This year, as always, many firearms will be given as Christmas presents. Whether or net it is a good idea depends uppn the knowledge of the thoughtful person buying, First of all they must consider the amount of trust which they can install in their intended receipient. Secondly; which is really the buyers responsibility; how much proper training in safe gun handling have they had? Next is the physical size and condition of the person and lastly is what they intend to do with the gun. All these four things are important. First thing many people will notice is the fact age has not been mentioned. The reason is simple; age has nothing to do with the persons ability to safely and accurately handlea gun. I have a seven year old son who under proper super­ vision handles a shotgun and is quite capable of using a pellet gun anytime. On the other hand I personally know several adults whom I would never entrust with a firearm. B.B. guns can readily be used by children from five years of age up, but lets remember, these should be used only for target practice in the basement under adult supervision. If giving your child this type of gun be sure to build a good backstop and give him a big target that can be hit 50 percent of the time. Don’t make it too difficult or too easy for they will lose in­ terest if that happens. This is also the time to teach them ' proper and safe gun han­ dling. B.B.guns are not really a dangerous firearm but can cause blindness. A range in the basement can also turn your ■shooting into a family thing. Your wife will enjoy seeing her husband and son together and can usually be talked into trying it too. Something else to remember is that little girls also enjoy shooting. Pellet guns are a better choice for seven to 12 year olds if they are responsible enough to handle them. They should also be used on an indoor range under super­ vision. Pellet and B.B. guns are considered firearms under the law and you should never allow your children to carry them outside in town. If your child is into his teen or even younger and you feel ^confident enough in him he 'may be ready for more power. Now is the time to decide, will it be a .22 rifle or a shotgun? My choice nearly every time would be a shotgun. There are several reasons for its choice. First of all lets look at the .22 rifle. The biggest downfall is that people don’t have the respect for them that they demand. They are a small gun, light, easy to handle and have no noticeable'recoil. Because of this people tend to “take them lightly.” Fact is that over 52 percent of our firearms related accidents involve them.
