is no rifle practice as valuable as that on
the open range, where a man to obtain a
fair score must make calculations based on
wind and light. Rifle shooting Is much
more than holding a gun relatively steady
on the target. A man who can do this, and
knows nothing more, will make poor
showing with his rifle

inches at 200 yards twelve at 300. twenty
at 50O twenty-four at co., thirty-two at
800 yards and forty inches at 1000 yards.
He computes that d four mile-an-hour wind
calls for from one-sixth to one-half point
windage at 200 yards according to direction
of the wind.
