The recent victory Of the American

vinced the military authorities OF
other nations that the marksmen OF

system of developing marksmen.
They are al loss to understand
how the American riflemen have been
able to use peep signals In rapid mr.
ing Military authorities OF other ma
tons have not considered peep sights
suitable for service conditions. They
did not think that rapid firing could
be done with any degree Of accuracy
by the use of peep sights. But In the
Pan.American match at Buenos Ayres,
and the Olympic shoot at Stockholm,
this theory was exploded by the
American teams. The American
marksmen according to official rec
