I answer, Didst thou never learn for to outshoot the devil in his own bow, and to cut off his head with his own sword, as David served Goliath, who was a type of him. Quest. O how should a poor soul do this? This is rare, indeed. Answ. Why, truly thus Doth Satan tell thee thou prayest but faintly, and with very cold devotion?
Then the Queen leaned forward and spake in a clear voice. "Locksley," said she, "I have made a wager with the King that thou and two of thy men can outshoot any three that he can send against you. Wilt thou do thy best for my sake?" "Yea," quoth Robin Hood, to whom she spake, "I will do my best for thy sake, and, if I fail, I make my vow never to finger bowstring more."
"But, as I said, I don't know just what type the Ordnance Department will favor, and I want to get a line. Then, even if I invent a cannon that will outshoot all the others, they may not take mine. Though if they do, and buy a number of them, I'll be more than repaid for my labor, besides having the satisfaction of helping my country." "Good for you, Tom!
"I'll lay it even," he said, his eyes twinkling, "that Bud Shoop can outshoot any man in the crowd." "I'll take ten of that," said the Starr man. "And I'll take ten," said another cowboy. "John," said Shoop, turning to the sheepman, "you're a perpendicular dam' fool."
One of them was driven back with the loss of half its men and horses. At another every officer was killed. "They outshoot us," said Dalton to Harry, "and they make a splendid stand for men who have been kept on the run for two days and nights."

He entered into the Indian life with apparent zest, took part in hunts and sports and the races and shooting matches in which the Indians delighted, but he was always careful not to outrun or outshoot his opponents. Black Fish took him to Detroit when some of the tribe escorted the remainder of the prisoners to the British post.
Don't knock your arm out of shape." Again Greg was signaling, though the signal was so difficult to catch that many of the onlookers wondered if Holmes really had signaled. Swish -ew -ew -zip! Again Durville had fanned truly, though nothing but air. The outshoot had seemed to spring lazily around, just out of reach of the end of his stick.
But Easter kin tell you better'n I kin, for she does all our huntin', 'n' she kin outshoot 'mos' any man in the mountains." Yes; I saw her shoot at the match the other day down at the mines." Did ye? "-a smile of pleasure broke over the old woman's face-" whar she beat Sherd Raines? Sherd wanted to mortify her, but she mortified him, I reckon."
We may compare human progress to a tall tree which has reared itself, slowly and imperceptibly, through century after century, hardly more than a bare trunk, with here and there only the slight outshoot of some temporary exploit of genius, but which in this age gives the signs of that immense foliage and fruitage which shall in time embower the whole earth.
