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.

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

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 <

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. Parents tend
to allow their use more
