What reading level is The Still Hunter book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was early in September, when grouse lie well to the dog, are full grown, and generally rise at less than six paces. There flies no bird that presents a fairer or much larger target. The Doctor had shot thou- sands before; he was not out for meat, but only for sport. He knew that killing grouse at that season with a gun is child's play. He shot sixty-five in all; and he took precious good care to do it with the shot- gun. Why did he not take a rifle? Perhaps he can tell us better himself. Her...e is an extract from a letter of his describing a chamois-hunt in Austria on the pre- serves of Count Wilzek. It is from the Chicago Field of Nov. 20, 1 880. Here is a record of three days' shooting, in his own language too, by the man who was being wined and dined by princes and potentates for his "marvelous, " "natural, " "instinctive, " "in- tuitive" shooting. Yet the reader must not suppose this is bad shooting. It is first-class work under the circumstances. I cite it only to show the enormous difference between ball-shooting and game-shooting.
