At FORT SHAFTER

The National Guard Of Hawaii will
fire at the Fort Shafter range tomor-
row for the National Rifle Associa-
ton medal. and large turnout Of the
crack shots is looked for. In record
firing this year many expert riflemen
and sharpshooters fell down with q
Gull, sickening thud. and these are
anxious to reestablish their repnta-
tons on the range in another compe-
tition. Then again, with the Hawai-
ian team for the national shoot at
Jacksonville soon to be selected, high
scores In tomorrow's competition will
probably entitle the holder to ccnsid-
Grafton in the tryouts.
Last Sunday was to have been the
last day of the record season, but oY-
ing to the fact that rain prevented
the opening Of the range until late In
the day, and that some Of the COM
pany details had been dismissed be.
fore that time, these men will be CIV

record. Two targets will be reserved
for their use, and they will fire at the
same time as those entered in the n.
r. A. competition.
The range will open at o'clock,
and company commanders have set z
O'Clock as the time for shooting mem.
bers to assemble at the arniory.
The N. r. A. competition course Is
over three ranges. 200 yards rapid
fire. kneeling from standing. y min
