POTEST AND STREAM. 



S&B 



nance, 1882, pp. 458-456, where it is deduced that a Springfield rifle 

 being fired at a range of 500yds. with the normal elevation, but at an 

 object 100ft. higher than the gun. the bullet will strike 2 87ft. below 

 the point aimed at. I did not check this calculation, but too < it on 

 trust. This, I am willing to admit, was a wrong course to pursue, as 

 we should never accept, as true any proposition that we can verify for 

 ourselves. 



The following considerations would seem to show that the calcula- 

 tion above referred to is wrong: 



In Fig. 1, A is the position of the gun and B is the point aimed at. 

 The normal angle of elevation for a level range of 50 'yds. or i,500l't. 

 is given at l 6 11'. Thus the fall in feet, due to gravity is evidently 

 equal to 1.500 x tan. 1° 11', or :30.984ft. 



in the case under consideration the axis of tbe bore makes an 

 angle of 5° 00' 5s" with the horizontal, and if gravity did not act, the 

 bullet woul i strike at D, at an elevation above C=A Cxtan. 5° 00' 31 

 l<!l.(!95ft, But ve have already seen that under the i ifluence of gravity 

 the bullet will fall 8i),8S4ft. Thus it will strike the vertical line D at 

 a point above C = 131 09 -80.984 or 100.111ft. or ntft above B instead 

 of 2.87ft. below it, as given in the text. That it strikes above is due 

 to the fact that AC is some 4ft short of the assumed 500yd. range 

 and also that the angle of elevation probably is slightly greater than 

 1° 11'. In stating that the trajectory wou d be higher, I referred to 

 the point B and not C, as "P. seems to suppose. See his sketch. 



Though 2" is considerably in excess of the truth, yet the curve will 

 always be higher at mid range than for a level range, as will be 

 sho iv n further on, and my error was one of amount rather than of 

 principle. 



Figs. 2 and 3 embody the substance of "P.'s" remarks on mountain 

 shooting. 



It will be seen that he is practically correct iu stating that the angle 

 of elevation in either case is the. same as that corresponding to a level 

 range of which the inclined range is the hypothenuse. The reason 

 is obvious when we reflect that, although the range and time of dig- t 

 are longer, and consequently th at the fall due to gravity (B D) is 



30C /X 



CB- 293.937ft. Teaj. = 293.934ft. 



greater, only the component of this force, G B (Fig 2), acting at right 

 angles to the axis of the bore, produces deflection. 

 The other component of gravity acting in the direction of the axis 



CB = 293.937ft. TrAJ. = 293.932ft. 



produces either retardation (Fig. 2) or acceleration (Fig. 3), accord- 

 ing as it acts in opposition to the motion or with it. In Fig. 2 let 



R = the inclined range A B. 



r = the corresponding horizontal range A 0. 



H = space described by gravity corresponding to R or B D. 



h = space described by graviiy corresponding to r or K C. 



A = angle made by inclined range with the horizontal. 



B = angle of elevation. 



Then the deviating component of gravity G B = Hxcos (A-J-B) and 



r — Rxcos A. 



From these relations and the equation to the trajectory, it may be 

 proved that the triangle G A B is similar to K A C, or, in other words, 

 that the angle of elevation for the inclined range is equal to tnat for 

 the corresponding level range. 



This is only approximately correct, as it is based on the supposition 

 that cos (A-^B)=eos A cos 6. This will obtain very nearly when A is 

 large and B is small, or when B is iarge and A is small, or wdien both 

 A and B are small. If A and B are both large the above will not apply. 

 This reasoning is equally applicable to the depressed range Fig. 3, ex- 

 cept that the difference of the angles A and B. must be employed in- 

 stead of their sum. 



The trajectories shown in the figures are calculated for a .40-cal. 

 gun, shooting a 287-grain bullet with an initial velocity of 1,4.25 f.s. 



At the elevated range the bullet strikes .038in. below the point aimed 

 at, and at the depressed range .06in. above it. This if due to the re- 

 tarding and accelerating components of gravity mentioned above. 

 Another point of interest is that, though the bullet strikes very near 

 the point aimed at, it will make a much higher curve in getting there 

 than for a level range. 



Thus in Fig. 2. the height E at mid range, measured at right angles 

 to the range is 3.792 inches, while the height F for the level range is 

 only 2.688 inches or 1.104 inches lower If the range were extended to 

 200 yards, the difference would be about 5 inches. At mid range 

 though, the bullet would still strike within a fraclion of an inch of the 

 place aimed at. These results are of general application and are 

 nearly true for any angle and range, provided that a practical 

 equality exists between the cosine of the sum of the angles and the 

 product of their cosines. (If the range is depressed, tne difference of 

 the angles is to be taken. See Fig. 8j. 



I have gone into this subject of inclined ranges at considerable 

 length as the question is one of considerable importance, and one that 

 I believe is not very generally understood. The algebraic computa- 

 tions have been omitted, as they were hardly within the scope, of this 

 article. Any one, however, who wishes to check them, may do so by 

 referring to works on the subject. " ..ationaland Practical Ballistics,*' 

 Captain Siacci, seems as satisfactory as any. 



As to Maj. Merrill's argument that the muzzloader would give a 

 flatter trajectory than the breechloader. He stated his case clearly 

 enough, and I do not think that his position has been ruisund. rstood 

 as might be inferred from what "P.*' savs on the subject. The Major 

 said in substance: First— That the muzzleloader would take more 

 and quicker powder for equal bores. Second— It would take a lighter 

 bullet and the lightest of any for equal bores. To which I replied 

 that the breechloader will take as much powder as can be consumed 

 in the length of ihe barrel and as quick powder as is desirable having 

 the best results in view. Since writing the above the breechloader 

 has been adapted to greatly increased charges and the only practical 

 limit is that of the endurance of the man behind the gun. As to the 

 bullet, the breechloader will shoot acurately the lightest bullet con- 

 forming to the flattest traj ctory at 200yds., the range under discus- 

 sion, and there is no practical reason why it should not shoot a lighter 

 one if it were desirable. That a heavier bullet has been generally 

 adopted is due to the fact that we are not willing to sacrifice accuracy 

 and energy to a flat trajectory. See what has been written by myself 

 and others on this point. 



The comparative merits of the two systems as to accuracy may be 

 considered as settled. But there is one point of superiority in the 

 breechloader that has been barely touched on in your columns. 

 Capt. Mackinlay's "Text Book of Gunnery" staies this so clearly that 

 I n«ed hardly apologize for quota g from him here. After showing, 

 from Capt. Noble, the great difference in energy imparted to a pro- 

 jectile by varying ratios of expansion, obtained by dividing the vol- 

 ume of the bore by the space occupied by the powder charge, he 

 says: "The rifled muzzleloading guns whichreplaced them [the early 

 form of R, B. L] tvetv less accurate, chiefly because some gunner's 

 ram home with mce force than others, and, as the cartridge is 

 slightly compressible, different charges occupied different spaces, 

 according to the strength of the gunner who happened to be ramming 

 home; the velocities of tbeproj^criles, and consequently the ranges, 

 varied, and the accuracy was impaired." 



That this cause of inaccuracy is liable to occur in all muzzlaloaders 

 seems to me self-evident, and it is equally evident that it need never 

 occur in a breechloader with ordinary care. James Duane

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



"FRELTNGHUYSENS AT NEW YORK."— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: Under the head of the "Frelin huysen's at Now York," 

 your issue of the 16th, inst, contains a communication from Edward 

 O. C'lia>,.\ taking exception to the manner of keeping the scores in 

 the late tournament at the Grand Central Rifle Gallery, That some 

 errors should nee. ssaiilv occur i.i a match when there were some 

 fifteen hundred targets shot could hardly be avoided. In this class 

 must be considered the omitting from the score record the names of 

 Messrs. Neil and Sneller, whose targets were inadvertently tied 

 together by the attendants and put among the inspected targets with- 

 out in any way coming under the notice of the umpires. In the case 

 of Mr. Weigman the communication is positively unjust. This gentle- 

 man's score got on originally through an oversight. The number of 

 shots on the targets were not counted, and on a revision it waa found 

 that only six could be found. The targets were submitted, to several 

 riflemen thoroughly conversant with gallery shooting, namely, Henry 

 Oehi, l\ G. Fanning. Chas. Overbaugh, etc!, and by all pronounced 

 not to have the requisite number of shots, and as a consequence were 

 rejected, That there was no '-connivance" iu the a ward is sufficiently 

 apparent when it is considered that placing the name of Mr. Weig- 

 man as a prize winner would only result in dropping that of Mr. 

 Sneller, also a Newark rifleman. From the committee of the N. Y. 

 Rifle Club.— J. H. Brown, Capt.

BOSTON, May 17.— Not a first-class day for rifle shooting, but still 

 the gentlemen at Walnut Hill had quite a pleasant time. Carrying 

 out the innovation of last week, a team match was shot. This was a 

 close light, and resulted in a victory for Mr. Charles's team by one 

 point. Following is the result of the team match :

NEW HAVEN, May 14.— The State clay-pigeon medal, which was 

 held by the New Haveu Gun Club, and the individual State medal, 

 held by J. F. Ives, were shot for on the grounds of the New Haven 

 Club to-day. The day was flue with the exception of a strong wind, 

 which made the shooting difficult and reduced the scores of ihe dif- 

 ferent clubs. Before the match a sweepstake was shoot, with 35 en- 

 tries, which resulted iu Langdon, of the New Haven Club, and J. F. 

 Ives, of the Parker Gun Club, dividing first, TUcot took second, E. A 

 Folnora third, and E. Booth fourth. Eleven teams from the different 

 clubs shot for the State me al, with the following result, 4 men each 

 team, 100 pigeons: New Haven 61, Meriden 66, Wins ted 58, Wiusted

PITTSBURGH, May 13.— The annual shoot of the Allegheny Sports- 

 men's Association was held at Idlewood, on the Panhandle Railroad, 

 to-day. The weather was good, and notwithstanding a strong wind 

 was blowing from the west, some remarkable shooting was done. 

 Twelve members of the club took part iu the pigeon match for the 

 Hague silver cup and the prize offered by the club. The conditions 

 were 2(iyds. rise, plunge traps, 5yds. apa< t and 80yds. boundary, both 

 barrels. Mr. He lwig was chosen referee, and Messrs Grogan and 

 Sharp judges. The match was very exciting. Many excellent shots 

 were made, several birds being killed at ?0yds. 



Mr. C. G. Donnell made a clean scire, killing 15 birds in 21 shots, 

 Messrs. G. E. Painter and R. S. Harlrick made a score of 14. one bird 

 of the former dropping dead ten feet out of bounds. C. G. Donnell

 dent; JohnL. Cobb, Vice-President; Ilwiry C. Davidson, Secretary 

 and Treasurer: C. E. Waliin. H. D. Long and W. S. Hutehins, Direct- 

 ors. Their model secretary was presented by the club in very appro- 

 priate remarks with a handsomely engraved mammoth silver pitcher, 

 inscribed ''Montgomery Shooting Club to Henry O. Davidson, May

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 14.— The two concluding matches Im- 

 positions on the team which will represent the Capital city (Urn Club 

 in the international tournament at Chicago, commencing May 86 

 were shot yesterday afternoon. Conditions: Teu double and ten'

 in the following order, each selecting his best six scores, out of a pos- 

 sible 120: E. L. Mills 105, William Wagner 93. William B. McKelden 90, 

 James Smith 85, E. M McLeod 84, James Bailey 83, R. L. Jones 80, C. 

 H. Laird 72. The shooting has been done under most unfavorable 

 conditions, many days being dark and cloudy, and it is expected that 

 with fair conditions, the team selected, which will be the highest five 

 on the list, will do much better shooting at Chicago, 



ANDROSCOGG1NS vs. RIVERSIDES.-The second challenge shoot 

 for the Ligowsky championship medal between the Androscoggin?, 

 of Lewiston, and the Riversides, of Topsham, came off at the An- 

 droscoggin's grounds, in Auburn. May 16, Riversides being the chal- 

 lenging club. A heavy rain prevailed during tiie entire shoot. Con- 

 ditions— 5 traps, 10 singles, 18yds. rise; 5 pairs, 15yds. rise. The fol-
