Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-08-29

teams began to assemble at the Baltimore
and Ohio station. There were greetings and
general handshaking as each new arrival
came up, for the majority of them are well
known, having tested their skill time and
again, sometimes against each other, and
again shooting side by side on the brigade
team, without showing the slightest ami
mostly.
ALL THE DETAILS ARRANGED.
The first thing done upon arrival at the
range was to prepare the targets and ar
range the details of the match. Major
Samuel Hazlett, Ordinance Officer of the
Second Brigade, was in command, and he
gathered the inspectors of rifle practice of
the different organizations about him, and a
general discussion about the details of the
match was held.
After arguing, pro and con, on several
points, everything was finally arranged.
Then the drawing of lots for turn to shoot
took place. Quite a lively interest was
taken in this as there were but two targets
on each range, one steel and one of paper,
and every one was anxious to shoot at the
steel target. The drawing Resulted in the
Fifth, Tenth, Fifteenth and Eighteenth
teams getting the coveted place, and the
Fourteenth, Sixteenth and Battery B the
other one.
Battery B and the Tenth teams led off,
and the sharp crack of the rifle and the
smack of the bullets striking the targets
became incessant. 1t was $50 o'clock
when the first shot was fired. and shooting
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-08-29

accounts for the sharp spotting Of its
opponents.
Lieutenant Connolly, L R. P, of the
Sixteenth Regiment, is one of the best shots
in the Guard. He also has a son on the
team who is hard to beat. A good story is
told about them. In a recent match
Frank had just made q bullseye,
when his father, who was spotting
for him, exclaimed. "You had better be a
little careful there, son; you are only about
an inch and half in the black" The
average marksman is glad if he can cut the
edge, which counts just as much as deep
one.
SHOOTING AT LONG RANGE.
At the 500 and 6OO-y yard range, the marks
man lay prone on the ground, with head
toward the target and a coacher beside him,
watching every point, to see if the gun was
level or if the wind had changed. 1t is re-
markable how the slightest puff of wind
will change the course of bullet, especially
at long range; or, if the wind gauge is set
for a strong breeze and it should suddenly
cease the target would be missed entirely
if it were not connected by the ever-watch-
full coacher. Small flags are planted on
poles every 100 yards, so that by watching
them the coacher can tell just how to ad-
just the gauge.
As the members of the teams finished
their score at the different targets, almost
every one would inquire anxiously "What
did you make?" and then put it down for
future reference. At the last firing point
every one was watching closely, and as the
Sixteenth's last man started to shoot he had
