at the beginning of the month the very limited
quantity of accommodation now remaining will
be entirely disposed Of. 1t was at first

RIFLE SHOOTING POSITIONS.

To THE EDITOR THE HERALD:-
Noticing in late issue of the HERALD that the
National Rifle Association has under consideration
the allowing of "any position" in military matches
at 500 yards and longer distances and feeling that
the views OF OF the rihemen should be publicly
consulted, take the liberty to write you ON few
points that will interest every military marksmsn
visiting Creedmoor.
Fsst-why do we go to Creedmoora Is it not to
prepare ourselves for what transpires in actual
ton? Would it not then. be funny sight to see two
contending lines popping ut each other or be-
tween tho solos Of their upturned army Shoes while
in the "back position" which General wingate
wishes for the sake of the Seventh, perhaps), to
allow in the coming competitions at Creedmoorp
Would not the soldier sooner assume the front
position" and his rifle over some friendly stone
or stump? Failing in this his knapsack could be
utilized. At Wimbledon the 'back position" has
been allowed and now what Is the result? have it
from reliable source that great pressure is being
brought to bear the council to return to the
front position" for y number of reasons. In the
latter position consumes less time in firing. He
is also less liable to shoot the wrong target and
by so doing injure for life unoffending marker.
Who that has seen marker coming up from the
pits with bleeding hands or arms, head bandaged or
happened at Creedmoor once, eye put out,
would not regard with dsfavor the slluring innova-
e vars SG o
rifle in the "back" and "front due to the pulsatons
of the heart and other causes il three to ve but
give the contestants their knapsacks to rest their
rifles and the practice gained in matches could be
utilized in actual service.
.Second-In small bore shooting at 500 yards and
over the National Rifle Association should put u
carton ring, counting six, in the bull s-eye. would
do away with the unavoidable ties at 500 and COO
yards Mt least. Such count tried at the spring
meeting of 1877 when the late general Dakn took
"frst." with o larger score than average of
22inch bulls-eyes, at the 800. 900 and 900 yards
A 36-inch bulls-eye to count Ave is too large.
One shooter puts his bullet within an inch of the
very centre Of the bull s-eye, but gets no more
credit than another, Indifferent marksman perhaps
who strikes eighteen inches from the same spot.
