Forty -one officers of the Quarter

completed rifle craftsmanship train
ing under auspices of the National
Rifle Association and The Evening
Star have qualified as expert rifle

placing them in the sharpshooter
class, the NRA said.
The officers, after graduation
from the NRA-Star course, were
given a single lesson in rapid firing
before going on the range.
The NRA reported that registra-
tion for the third series of marks
