shooting Written by Bridget D (5/20/2010 12:29 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Well, comfort yourself with the thoughts, penned by Kathleen Glancy

I thought that In Austen's day shooting was n't as "easy" as it became in Victorian times, where birds were reared totally for slaughter and were so easy a target what with beaters etc that any twit could shoot them....

However I think that Austen wasn't crazy about it herself..
