The 'Standard Target."— For Rifle Practice. 

 Sizo 6 inches. Bulls-eye IV inches. Range, 100 

 feet, off-hand. The zones rise by area instead 

 of diameter, 



Marksmen -will appreciate the new departure 

 •which this target has inaugurated. The accurate 

 rifleman now gets the true value of bis shots, 

 while on old-style targets the record was so taint- 

 ed by the element 01 chance as to give but a 

 vague idea of the scooter's skill. For instance, 

 on a 200 yard Creedmoor a " center," scoring 4 

 has tewtimesthe areaof a "hull," scoring 5. Every 

 rifleman knows that no degree of skill or care will 

 give immunity from occasional misses, and un- 

 der the old system it was almost the rule for good 

 marksmen to be beaten by oad ones. One man 

 would pile up eight snug bulls out of ten, but 

 lose the other two, while his competitor, " shoot- 

 ina for fours," would scatter his stravs all over 

 tho board center, blunder one shot Into the edge 

 of the bull, and win ! Now in doer stalking, and 

 shooting at B0 yards, the winner would have 

 wounded and lostone deer, while the loser would 

 have struck down eight, all shot through the 

 heart. Of course there are people who stall con- 

 tend that under the old method "all had an eoual 

 chance ;" which is vei-v true. But it is also true 

 that their equality of chance would have 

 been in no wise impaired if tbey should have sat 

 down and thrown dice to determine who was the 

 better shot. In contests of sWU every element 

 of chaiiec should lie eliminated. 



Arrangements have been made for supplying 

 these targets at a merely nominal price, and it is 

 now an easy matter to gauge relative skill by 

 uniform practice, and to communicate definite 

 results without obscuring them by explanatory 

 details. The i--i.ru ets ;■• e mailed, post-paid to any
