gave us 11s minutes rest, then repeat
.he same operation until we had 20
shots fired, or four clips When | had
finished my score was GLOW, I'll
say so, but when | saw the scores on
the other fifteen targets | felt better.
There were only 3 who had higher
scores, have forgotten how many
points higher than mine.
About 1875 or 1920 o'clock | had
an opportunity to try 1t again, that Is,
after the fog cleared off, and the sun
was up higher This time | did
little better, pulling down ~ points,
SO that saved me as they always null
tiply the rapid fire and change posi-
tion by two, no matter how much
YOU make on the first show run, that
left me 154 points. To qualify as an
expert we had to have 140 points, so
| came out IA points to the good, Can
you imagine me getting to be an ex-
pert rifleman in three days. Such 8
short time? And not having used a
rifle larger than .22 short. and only
shooting l2-guage shotgun once.
| asked one Of the coaches why
that was. and hc said, We'll, ! can
tell by the way you hold your rifle
that you don't use tobacco in any
form, or alcohol, etc lie said that
MY nerves were steady enough 70 hold
the rifle sights on the target az al
times, and the majority Of the fell
lows casually those who are heavy
smokers Of cigarettes, etc) sway Of
and onto the target, pulling the trig-
IS the sights sway onto the mark.
In the afternoon | didn't do any
thing but stroll around until 1880
O'Clock (there was no place to go to
write, etc.), then / went down to the
pistol range with the officers and non
CONS. etc. shot few shots, just
enough to get onto the action OF the
Colt As automatic. and later going
down for a nice wash in the salt wat
er Of Chesapeake bay.
After supper ] went to town TO a
movie show. II was pretty lonesome
at camp. Saturday morning all OK the
, tents were pulled down by z o'clock
and as | had finished at the ranges J
had to stsy with some OF the other
lucky ones to clean up around the
camp. After that was done ] went
down to the pistol range. This time
shot course and made s6 points on
12-inch target at 25 yards. then
tried the 35 yards, and made rs points
on a 16-inch target.
I am we'll satisfied with my work
while up there. After mess we start
ed for home arriving at 6:l5 Saturday
evening Well ! ate supper
and went TO bed. ! must stop writint
now az the Sunday services will star
| in the next room in few minutes.
Your loving son,
