The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1914-12-18

for the purpose OF taking care of all
the trophies they have won during the
past year. And the worst is vet to
come. There are still three trophies
to be awarded prior to February, 1915.
Is 1t possible that Twin Falls will run
off with those as they did the others
The regular practice season having
been extended to include December
3lst, each company should get in and,
fire as many men over the course as
possible, and ii possible, qualify
enough men to win one of the three
trophies not yet awarded.
A scheme of creating interest in in
door target practice has been sub
mitted to the war department for APP
proval. Briefly it will be conducted as
follows: Between the dates of jan
uary 10 and February 10, 1915, an in
door rifle competition will be inau-
gurated in each Company of the regi-
ment, officers and enlisted men com
peting for prizes. Prizes will be
awarded from federal funds appropri-
ated to this state under 1861 X. S.

These prizes will be awarded once
each week, or $3.50 will be awarded to
competitors of each company each
week. 1t will not be permissible for
any one competitor to get more than
two prizes at any one weeks COMPETE
ton; one position prize and an aggre-
| gate prize. This will eliminate the
most expert shots of winning all the
prizes each night and in the end will
give most every competitor chance
| to win prize. The regimental indoor
competition conducted by Colonel
Edelblute last year, while not afford
ing prizes, was most beneficial to all
| concerned. When it started the slack
was Immediately taken up in the drill
| attendance. When the men fired the
outdoor course this summer they re-
membered what they were taught at
the indoor shoots. They could picture
a target looking through the sight,
which picture one must be able to
| form before he can do any accurate
shooting. The correct trigger pull,
another necessity for shooting, is also
taught at this practice and with the
many other good features everyone
should take the same interest in the
work as they did last year If you
follow up gallery practice you will
find that you can qualify at outdoor
practice with much more ease An
other thing in regard to this indoor
gallery practice is that the war de-
partment requires every man to fire
the course prior to firing the regular
| outdoor course
