There Is no reason in the world
why anyone cannot be a good rife
shot" said Col McNabb. the writer
of the United States army training
regulations on rife Workmanship.
in a most interesting lecture before
the officers and men of the S6th in
fantry bridgane school at Camp
Reyes this week. The lecture was
given at the Y. N. c. A. gymnasium
because Of the tnclemency OF the
weather.
Col. McNabb has demonstrated in
q very striking manner the sound
ness of the method Of training which
he employs. He told of his work
with a regiment Of negroes who were
very poor shots, and of the way he
brought them to such q standard Of
craftsmanship that all but eight OF
the men qualified in some grade as
rife shots.
He gave other illustrations Of the
way in which the modern training
system works out and maintained
that the great trouble which causes
much failure to qualify was that they
were taught by the old theory. He
took sharp issue with the president
Of the National Rife association who
says that the only way for a man to
learn to shoot Is to shoot. He de-
clared that careful training will as
sist the men TO be good shots even
though they have but little range
practice. The idea Is 20 teach them
the essentials Of holding the rife,
trigger squeeze and other things that
must be taken in consideration and
OF practicing these things until they
become a habit.
This lecture was the feature Of the
days training program. which also
included a talk by Major Savage to
the men OF the 103rd infanty, In
