Edward Weydt won first prize
with a score of 80 in the blind
target novelty match held Tues
day night. Targets were re-
versed so that the shooters were
apparently firing at blank card)
E. B. Shelley and Glenn Jackson
shot off tie for consolation
while Bob Woodrow captured the
BOBBY.
The high score of young Weydt
was remarkable in that he made
almost as high a score with five
shots shooting at reversed tar
get as he did with ten shots at a
match target on which he could
see the bulls.
The ammunition vending ma
chine now doing duty at the gal
lery was conceived and made by
Byron Whitcomb, aided by Vern
Laffea. Now all we need is q
''technocrat" to shoot the ammu-
milton for us.

break the Away tie for third

are:

Billings placed first, Laure
second. With another season Of
shooting Red Lodge should gel
somewhere. The experience gained
in this tournament by the loca
competitors was we'll worth while
regardless of final position.
