THE FUTURE OF THE NATIONAL RIFLE AssoCIA-
TIoN DIscUssED-wLL CREEDMooR RANGE
BE GIVEN UP?
The great difficulty Of access to the Creedmoor
Range has for long time been the cause of much
complaint among the rifemen residing in this section
Of the country. and during the latter part of the
shooting just expired the various matches
attended with but little success while numerous
entries made in all the matches at Brinton Range.
AT the last meeting Of the directors OF the National
Association Colonel E. II. Sanford proposed that an
effort be made to obtain . site for range in
some convenient locality than the present one.
and committee appointed to attend to the mat
ter Several proposals have come from various quar-
ters for the establishment of the range. One comes
from Staten Island, another from the peighborhood
of Copey Island All offer superior advantages
General Martin L. MacMahon, who was formerly
treasurer and is now life member of the National
Rifle Association told the reporter yesterday that he
thought the association ought not TO own any range.
He advocated the holding Of tho spring meeting at
Brinton, it would be much more convenient to
rnemen and their friends to go there than to Creed
moor. and it would show more national spirit on the
part Of the association.
General John B. woodward, the State Inspector Of
the National Guard. and director % the National
Rifle Association. asked what he thought of sell
ing the Creedmoor Range and converting the Ma
tiona Rife Association into central Legislative body
and he replied :1 think it must come to that at last
That is the idea conveyed in the title OF the assoca
tion, and that has always been it's aspiration" He
specially favored the proposition to hold the spring
meeting at Brinton.
The matter will come before the directors for dis
cussiCn at their next meeting
