FORMATION Of RIFLE
CLU B IN OTTAWA
BEING CONSIDERED
CLYDE ALLEN sNp C. M. CORBlN
LOCAL MARkSMEN, ANNOUNCE
THAT THEY PLAN TO FORM
NEW GUN CLUB.

Marksmen OF ottawa and vicinity
who are lnteres,-d in rifle shooting
VIII no doubt be pleased to learn that
plans for the formation of a new OF.
/ taWa rifle club are under way. An
nOunCementS to this effect were made
to the press this morning by Clyde
Allen, who for years has been known
as one of the best marksmen in this
community. Assisted by G. NJ. Cor
bin, also crack rifle shot, who has
established many records, Mr. Allen
will undertake the task of forming 4
rifle club in Ottawa.
Both Mr., Allen and Mr. Corbin were
members Of the Illinois rifle team
which took part in the national
matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, last
summer. Their team finished higher
in that match than they did in any
previous years.
Several years ago Ottawa had q
rifle club, but it finally disbanded. Re.
Gently interest has been taken in rife
shooting and the need of club for
this city was realized by Mr. Allen.
During the war those who were not
members Of the United States army
became interested in shooting. Sol.
dier5 who came back naturally &C.
quired considerable ability with a
rifle or a pistol, but since then they
haven't had chance to get out and
show their speed on range in OF
taWa.
Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Corbin were mem
bers Of the Freedom club last year
but all the time have been on the look
out for suitable place for range
near Ottawa One of the most ideal
places possible has been located JUST
about two miles west of Ottawa, al
Coyel creek and along the concrete
pavement on what is known as the
bottom road. A tive-year option has
been taken on this place, which will
allow range of 1000 yards. This
when completed, will be one of the
three l,000-yard ranges in the state
the other two being at Camp Logan
and Fort Sheridan. 1t is said that

even Springfield does not boast OF u
range as large as the one planned Ly
the local rife fans. The location,
being near to Ottawa and along such
a road as it is, makes 1t q very dc
cessable place. No great loss Of time
will be encountered in going to and
from the range, even being within
easy walking distance for those hay-
ing no means OF faster travelling, and
a fine road in the pad seasons Of the
year for either walking or motor tray.
cling The hackers Of the new club
feel certain that enough responses
will be made to clinch the deal for the
organization. Members OF the club
viii be able to purchase firearms and
at greatly reduced cost
The club will maintain rifles for free
use of the members and the govern
ment furnishes part OF the ammuaf
ton free to members of such a club, as
the Ottawa club will be member If
the National Rife association. Plans
are also being maze Tor an indoor
range for small bore and pistol shoot
ing The money has been appro-
priated to be spent in Ottawa for this
purpose and it will be put to use this
spring.
Since the word has been passed
around town to some Of the members
of the former rifle club and some OF
the members Of the American Legion,
Allen and Corbin have been assured
assistance in the formation Of the club,
A. meeting will be called in the near
future for the purpose OF organizing
and the election Of officers.
