 One of the most interesting things of the shoot was the owl" match. It was shot at night, with search light on the target, and with telescope sights on the rifle at 500 and 1000 yards The highest score possible was 5O and some of the men each made a possible. or highest score. There were some five en- tries in this shoot. which was repeated several nights. None of the Arizona members took part in this. The Ma tional Guard Magazine contains an in teresting account of a similar shoot by Col. C. B. Winder on the 22d of July. with only a campfire light on the target. The account says:
 Col winder gave a wonderful exhi- bition of shooting without the aid of any other light other than that afford ed by a small camp fire located a little to the right and in front of the target. There was no moon and the night was dark. nor was any light used at the firing point. Winder began his score on the 500 yard target with a Spring scope. The thermometer was 6S, and he used the Winchester 1S0 grain bull let. Seven miles of wind was blowing. The first shot was a 1; the second shot was a ,; this was repeated up to and including the fifteenth shot; the six teenth was a I; then there was a run of six 5s and another 1: then Winder ran for twenty straight 5s until he ran out of ammunition. Anyway you ant to figure the score, it makes 197 out of a possible 900 It is estimated that he wind was blowing from half past ten. The shooting was witnessed by Gen. and Mrs. Weybrecht and Sergeant Collins. The marking was done by Col Howard and Lieut.. Welch, Capt Seman was scorer. and Capt. South range officer. This wonderful of night shooting with the aid of only a small camp fire affords a valuable lesson for attack of outposts at night, in case of course any enemy would be foolish enough to have a camp fire at their outposts."
 Another specimen of practice at Camp Perry this year which had great in terest for the guardsmen was that which most nearly approached actual conditions of near Attack. near as things go in modern warfare.
 Two squads of eight men each would with each other in shooting at steel targets the size and shape of a man. These targets were at the absolute, mOmentary control of the of the contest. They could be raised up out of pits into Ol IoNtAtur cN NlAAf tRiAN "AN'i like the same irregularity that would characterize the movements of men in battle. There were as many targets as men, one for each man in each squad, sixteen in all. The tar gets would appear or disappear at the same time, which would give all the men in both squads equal chance.
