ing next Wednesday evening. mis-
being the first day that there will be
any shooting allowed on the range
Mr.. Henkle thought it would be nice
to offer a cup, as all will be on an
es8al as to practice on the range.
Barring accidents the %, so, eco, 500,
LOCO yard ranges will be fixed so
as members may practice, the gun
house will be built in the near future,
also trap shooting range will be
commenced at once. General Godfrey
spent some hours on the range, IN
specting the pits as to safety and
equipment, and after making a few
changes as to safety the general pro-
nounced the rifle range, pits and
general equipments equal to any, The
pits are 6x32xS feet deep, the targets
win be the latest model, as used in
the army. 1t will be well for all to
bring their field glasses, in case they
shoot at the 1000 yard target, the
targets being 6x12, bulls eye 8 feet
square. All scores will be kept by the
committee in charge, SO as to know
the best shots for competition. 1t is
the desire of the club to send our best
shots to Prescott this fall, and If they

to Ohio to the general United States
shoots the following month. All
members of the club are entitled 10
use thu range and use any gun they
wish. Only in competition at special
shoots will there be any particular

model Springfield. which is now used
by the government.
