FINS SHOOTING,
Tbe seC res on West Virginia Target
AT StrObel's BanRe.

Some exceedingly fine shooting was done
yesterday at SIrobeis range, on a West
Virginia target, 9OO yards, off hand, Shsrp's
rifle The West Virginia target is new
combination Of the Massachusetts, target
used east, and consists in subdividing the
latter target The bullseye is eight inches
in dismeter, and divided into rings one
bali inch apart, and counting from eighteen
to twenty five. All shots counting eighteen
strike the bullseye within one-hslf inch
from its edge, and such higher count
place the bullet on e-half inch nearer the
the centre OF the bullseye. Thus 1t seems
that q score OF 200 on this target is an
average OF three inches from the exact
centre Of the target.
The sixteen ring is about the size OF an
ordinary hat rim, or twelve inches IN
diameter.
Ii will be seen that in those scores the
large msjoIity of shots are inside OF the
~ inch ring, which counts Is in the score.
The scores are given in both Massschu-
So it's and West Virginia counts. A score
Of 100 on q Massachusetts, target is very
good, and all over that is unusually good.
The West Virginia target was directed
by C. Z. Dwight, and his 200 is the highest
score yet made on it The scores were as
