 of diameter. 



Marksmen will appreciate the new departure 

 which this tar- it --. ., an] orated. Theaccurate 

 rifleman now gets the true value of his shots, 

 while on old si letai tslh lecord was so taint- • 

 ed by the element oi chance as to give but a 

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

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

 hasten times the areaof a "bull," scoring 5. Every 

 rifleman knows that no degree of skill orcare will, 

 give immunity from occasional misses, and un- 

 der the old system it wa= almost I he mleforgood 

 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 strays all over 

 the board center, blui Ie oneeho into the edge 

 of the bull, and win I Now in deer stalking, and 

 shooting at SO yards, the winner would have 

 wounded and lost one deer, while the loser would- 

 have struck down eitrht, all shot through tho 

 heart. Of course there tire people who still con- 

 tend that under i Ij ■:■ old m i -thud •' all had an equal 

 chance ; " which is very true. But it is also true 

 that their equality of chance would have 

 been in no wise impaired if they should have sat 

 down and thrown dice to determine who was the 

 better shot. In contests of tM every element 

 of chance should be eliminated. 



Arrangements have been made for supplying 

 these targets at a merely nominal price, and It &. 

 now an easy matter to gauge relative skill by 

 uniform pra ■ communicate definite 



results without obscuring them by explanatory- 

 details. The targets are mailed, post-paid to any 

 address in the United States at fifty cents per 

 hundred, am lit Lffbi al discount ismade to
