Cat of a class of 6S guns, 3 out of the 6 best wer

against on the spot for having its score false counted, 
the fact proven there, and afterwards confirmed by 
same gun being shot for two days per week for six 
weeks in succession, when its average scoTe only took 
24th place, its very best score being greatly below the
