Sub CaIiber Practice.
Second company, q. S. Coast Aritl-
lery, did remarkably fine shooting at
sub caliber target practice at Fort H.
G. Wright Monday morning. In As
shots the company scored SO actual
hits. The target was towed at dis
lance OF 1000 yards.
In the sub caliber shooting the size
of the projectile is reduced by an aux
iliary tube placed inside the gun. A
one pound shot was fired by the Sec
ond company gunners in the 10 inch
gun, and all but ten of the allowance
of shots were hits
In the opinion of the gunners the
sub caliber is harder to score hits
with than the full service; It is used
largely to give the gun details exer-
else in handling the big guns and to
increase the efficiency of the gun
pointers.
Hits are allowed when the projec-
tile strikes the water within a speci-
side, or ifiit passes over the target at
a specified height. Each of the Sec
ond company's hits struck the tar
get.
