these men going to Camp Perry will
have the latter two, so their records
will be heard about. The making OF
the winning scores contains many
angles and combinations, not the
least of which is the men who attend
to the targets and see to it that each
shooter gets good service and correct
marking of just what he shoots. and
right here may be mentioned the very
loyal. faithful and commendable work
of the 22 or more men who pulled the
targets and signalled the hits to the
men behind the guns, during the team
try out at Mt. Pleasant. These 22
men deserve credit and thanks for the
way they stuck to their work to the
last shot on the last day, and through
the heat of summer sun, and the
wet of the summer showers, they
raised and lowered heavy iron frames
with enormous thousand yard tar
gets and strained their eyes and
nerves to show accurately to each
shooter where the elusive shot hole
was. Without their good work the
best shooters in the world would have
had their efforts set at naught. To the
CitadePs success at the national
matches at 1921 will be word of
thanks to the boys in the butts for
faithfully helping achieve it.
