« HEKL1NG. W. Va.-The Wheeling Ritle Club shot their usual 

 Saturday afternoon practice matches at their club house and range 

 Sept 15. The shooting here for the past two years i...^ h.en eourtued 

 tooff-baud, 2tK)yds., and the .Massaehuseti target is usually used. 

 though lately the German ring and man targets have I een tried. 



Some two v.ars ago Messrs. .J.u-ger and Dwight used to do some 

 long-range shooting, but there seems little niteiest in it lavlv. In 

 ih • 200yds, shooting, .Mr. Richard Stewart use- a Sharps ml, . iucal..

 420 lead, and has been trying the open bead for 2u0-yd. tvorl 

 varying results, and he would like to hear the result or other", trials 

 at that distance. The club here is not numerous, but can count on 

 five men who shoot about even, wiih air, Stewart generally m the 

 lea<i. The present shooters are the n niaining live after w. cuing out 

 all of those who had not enough true love of the recreation to con- 

 tinue during the past four years. 



There is enough material in ibis part of the country to get up a 



good association, and
