THE "TEASER" TARGET. 



THE expert pistol shots of the day have acquired such a degree of 

 skill with the weapon that it has been found necessary to devise 

 new systems of scoring their best work. Mr. J. S. C'onlin, of Con- 

 lin's Gallery, this city, has just published a novel target of his own 

 invention, which promise's to supersede the. old style of ring targets. 

 Its inventor dubbed, it the ''Colonel" target, but those who have tried 

 their hand at 11 have discarded this name for the more appropriate 

 one, the "Teaser." We give herewith an illustration of tins new tar- 

 get. This is printed from the block from which the targets them- 

 selves are printed, and so is an exact reproduction. 



In this target special regard is had to

 shot cutting the black- line of any one of the I 



get is counted the same as if it had entered that division. Thus a ball 

 just cutting the outer line of the lowest division, counts 1, just as it 

 would if put into the centre of that division. 



The "Teaser" is already a popular target at Conlin's, and we be- 

 lieve i: will be found a sufficient test of the best pistol shots' skill for 

 a long time yet. We shall publish from week to week scores made in
