Hide and Gray Shooting. 
TARGET TESTS. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Iam glad to see that the important subject of rest shooting has 
been reopened by Mr. Leopold in a recent issue of your prper. This 
style of shooting is our most reiiable source of information on the 
performance of different kinds of ammunition, and also of much of 
the data for calculating the element of the wa jectony. 
Thaye a considerable respect ior Mr. Leopold, both as a practical 
rifle shot, and as the author of & number of sound, common-sense 
articles on rifle shooting, but I differ from him materially in his esti 
mation of the so-called ‘“dude” target, which he assails so. unmerci- 
fOny 4 hope to conyince him that his strictures are not entirely 
merited. 
The main object of rest shooting may be stated to be as follows: 
Virst—To test the accuracy of the rifle 
Second—To test the accuracy and uniformity of the ammunition, 
Vhird—To test the skill of the marksman. 
This being admitted, let us tuke fur example the target made by 
Dr, Tolles, and published in the letter under discussion, and lat us 
assume that the distance between the sightson the gun was 36in. 
Now, if for instance the center of the group of shots ad been 4in 
above the center of the bullseye and 4in. to tne right, I presume the 
target would have been classed as a ‘dude, and treated with con- 
tempt acenrdingly, 
But if we study the target and the tools with which it was made, 
Mg shana thatitis far from being deserving of contempt. We 
shall find: 
First—That the gun was accurate, 
Second—That the ammunition was excellent and uniform, 
Third—That the marksman was <killful, and 
Fourth—That the sights were .04in, out of line, and that the eleva- 
tion was .04in, too great. 
Now, if the elevation were lowered .04in. and the front sight 
moved .04in. to the right, and the target shot over afain undér 
precisely the same conditions as before, we should haye Dr. Tolles’s 
target as actually made. and it would be no longer a *‘dude,” bit a 
creditable member of society. 
Still, I maintain that the ‘‘dude™ we have supposed fills our condi: 
tions as well as the bona fide article, and the same reasoning would 
apply if the deviation were eyen 4ft, instead of 4in, And in general. 
4 fine group of shots, no matter how jar from the bullseye, can only 
be made by combined accuracy in the gun, ammunition and man. 
some time ago I made a very fair target at 100yds., while shootine 
with 200yds. elevation for the sake of experiment. The center of the 
cluster 6f shots was 12)4in. above the center of the bill, and as thir 
is just about the tise due to the trajectory, I should have felt per- 
fectly qusnfice in making the center of the bull 1244in. higher than it 
actually was, and publishing the targetas atrue one. I send you a 
target | made Jan, 18, which I hope you will publish, asit is the best 
in one important respect that I have yet seen. . It was made under 
the following conditions: Sharps .40 cal rifle, 26in. barrel. 60 grains 
Hazard F.G. and 310-grain Remington canellured bullet. No clean 
ing. Muzzle and elbow rest. Range 20Uyds. Ten shots were fired. 
but through an unfortimate misunderstanding on the part of the 
marker, the first four shots were pasted before I discovered what he 
was doing, and as the target had been considerably ehot on, the exact 
location of these shots was a mati of considerable doubt. Un- 
Two HunprRep-YarD TARGET. 
fortunately the target isa little wider than your columns, but I sup- 
pose that it can be put in abright angles to ils true position. The 
exact center of the target 1s at the intersection of the cross lines. 
and the string is as follows: 
Shot..... 1 2 3 4 eb, 46 
String....2.98 0.77 1.49 1.82 .08 .43° Total, 7.02in. 
It will be ooticed ihat the extreme vertical deviation of the shots is 
only 07-in. Or 4 of the bullets will cut the same horizontal line, while 
the other 2 ave but 0.15in. above and below itrespectively. This would 
indicate a bullet of perfecily uniform weight, densiry and figura, pro- 
jected with a very uniform inilial velocity i believe that i this tar- 
get had been shot from a more perfect form of rest, that some of the 
experts would have had to “hump” themselves to beat it. Té our off- 
hard shots could be brought to believe that the naked bullet is capa- 
ble o£ #icing nearly, if not quite, as good results as the patched, they 
would cease handicapping themselves by lugging on to the range a 
bottle of water, a wet brash, wiping rods, rags, and all the cleaning 
paraphernalia now ir vogue. JAwes DUANE. 
Morr Haymn, Jan, 17, 1885. 
EKditor Forest and Stream: 4 
In a recent issue of the ForrsT AND STREAM, a communication from 
E. A, Leopold was published, wider the head of “Breechloader 
Tests,’ in which he call. for testimony regar' ing the acctiracy of ihe 
modern .32-cal_ rifie. and showing a target shot by Dr_ L. C. Tollas, 
The target shown is really a very fine one. and the infrequenecy of 
such targets is proved by the fact that so few are shown up te the 
public, ei her as made by muzzle or br echloaders, This target, as 
well asthe one furnished by Major Werrill, and published in Porn-7 
AND Stream of July 2, 1883. were shot in Colorado. where they have 
a very rarified almosphere, giving much flatter trajectories, aud gen- 
érally much more favorable weather for targeb shooting than we 
have here near the Allantic enast. Itis very donbilul if ime target 
in & thousand would prove to be as well balanced on ihe center of the 
bullseye as this one is marked, For this reason I differ with the opin- 
jon of Major Merrill, E. A. Leopold, and probably many others, re- 
garding the proper manner of testing 2 rifle to ascertain its accuracy. 
The wea her usually experienced is sucii as will deflect a nullet from 
its course to a considerable extent, and asa g: neral thing varies from 
hoon Beet sufficiently to alter the -tring measure of & target sev- 
eral inches. 
To illustrate this better, we will suppose the following test targets 
to be sho’, premisinog that T have seeu many targets shot that were 
fully as fine as T shall describe. . , 
Grant that the marksman is capable of doing fine work at reat 
shooting, alight breeze blowing across the range, allowing half a 
point on the wind gauge (which allowance on a 28 invh rifis will give 
about anich at 100yds,). After shooting a strins of bey shots Ma 
will be found grouped very closely, but the center of the group 
| wrist seemed to do its work with renewed 
be about three-eizhths of an inch from the center of the tarzet. Not 
quite enough allowance was made for the wind or else a true sight 
was prevented by the light coming obliquely across the rifle sights, 
We will allow a trifie more on the wind gauge and try again. The 
first few shots strike near the center of the bullseye, and it is not 0S- 
sible to sea at the start but what the sights are all right, but when 
they are all fired the center of the group of shots is found to be about 
half an inch off from the bullseye on the otiier side. The wind or 
light has changed during the shooting of the string a litile, and we 
find the amount added to the wind gauge was not wanted. Similar 
results will follow time and again; the smaller the circle necessa 
to cover the group of shots the more noticeable will be the fact that 
their center does not coincide with that of the bu Iseye shot at, 
whereas with a string of shots scattering over a two or three inch 
circle, a slight difference in the wind will not appear to alter tha 
center of their eroup. 
Now remove the bullseye from the white paper and inscribe a cir- 
cle about each group of ten shots; an inch cirele in each case will 
include or touch the outside shots; the first string would reobably 
measure about fivemches, and the second five and one-half to six 
inches, Counted from fhe center of the original bullseye thisis not a 
fine string in either case, but each group of ten shots, as they were 
fired in succession, show the accuracy of the rifle and the am muni- 
tion to be almost perfect for that distance; ihe fault of ti cir not 
seing located over the center of the target is the fault of the elements, 
not the rifle, although in the language of BH. A, Leopold and some 
others, ‘these are ‘dude targets, and of no value whatever as a test 
of the accuracy of the rifle’ or skill of the marksman. I contend 
chat tarzets made in this manner are a true test, and the smaller the 
sroup of sho's the more accurate the vifle, regardless of the distance 
they may strike on the target from the center of the bullseye shot at. 
Their position relative to the bullseye is a mather regulated by the 
judgment of the marksman, and not by the rifle or maker of it, 
It we wish to determine the skill of s marksman as compared with 
inother, he should know the exactlocation of each shot es mae, 
ind use h s judgment as to the position of his sizhts for the succeed 
ing shots as they are made, the target he makes to be measured from 
the center of the bullseye shot at, 
My advice to any one desiring to test a rifle is to have it shot from 
aTest, by a man who is used to vest-shooting, and have the sights set 
30 that the shots will strike under the bullseye, away from its edge, 
and do not have the sights changed at all until the whole string has 
been shot, If uhe shots strike in the bullseye it will disfigure it and 
change the point of aim to some extent. 
There is a class of targets exhibited by unscrupulous persons, 
which should never be tolerated or allowed to be published in any 
paper, they are simply frauds. They are made in this way: 20 to 50 
shots are fired at one target, and the closest group of 10 shots has a 
irele drawn around them, This gives an entirely wrong impression, 
fot the shots were not fired in succession. Targets made in this way 
might well be called ‘dude,” or *'fulse,”’ or made up,” as you like, 
and to guard against such tricks, there should he uhouehs of the 
original target paper about and outside of the circle to show that 
ouly 10 shots were fired at it. 
Thinking possibly a few facts regarding the modern .82-eal. target 
rifle might be of interest to other readers besides BH, A, Leopold, Tf will 
zivemy experience: In May last I coneluded to try off-handstarget 
shooting, and believing the .82 was large enough for all work up to 
200yds,, I ordered a Maynard of that caliber, which came to me in 
due time, with shells holding 35 grains of powder and bullets weighy 
ing 165 grains, together with assurances trom the manufacturers that 
the rifle was doing even finer work at 100yds, rest than the heavily 
charged long-range rifles. 
T have shot it off-hand since that time at the regular meetings of 
our club and in a few matches outside of our city. I find m looking 
over my score cards that I have mide during the season 1 card of 49, 
2 cards of 48, 6 cards cf 47, 13 cards of 46, 17 cards of 45, out of a pos- 
sible 50: 1 card of 35, 7 cards of 34, 19 cards of 38, out of a possible 35, 
besides 80 other cards recording 205 shots made at Walnut Hill, 
Greedmoor and other matches, 119 of which shots are bullseyes; 
making in all 95 scores, recording 50 per cent, and more of bullseyes, 
In the hands of an expert, I think the rifle woud have kept up with 
the larger bores. I willtry the rifle at a rest some day and give you 
the result. A. B. Dopes, 
Mancuester, N. H,, Jan. 12, 1885. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Being rather young, somewhat bashful and not wanting to speakin 
meeting first, [have waited, hopmg to see or hear of others who 
caught a ‘passing interest’’ fiom the target published in your paper 
Jan. 1, page 454, I did and have gotitbad, To be sure about i of 
in inch would add to first impressions as to size of target, still the 
bullets would show pretty thick for 19in all at 200yds. NowlIam 
fond of geod rifle scores and like to see *em do it; therefore hope Mr, 
Putnam will getup an exhibition and repeat his published score, 
Give notice in your paper, I will take one ticket at $5 and try to be

DR. CARVER’S SIX-DAY SHOOT. 
R. W. F. CARVER spent last week in a prolonged fusilade, and 
sustained his reputation as a marksman of exceptional ability, 
by winning his offer to hil sixty thousan‘l flying objects within six 
days’ time. The test took placein Lincoln’s Rink, New Haven, Conn., 
where ab midnight of Sunday the 11ih the electric lights blazed forth 
in all their glory, and knots of Dr, Carver's admirers stood about ihe 
building and discussed the marksman's chances of aeae as 
the destruction of thirteen tons of coal within six days. Nobody 
seemed greatly excited, but about the premises there was an air of 
expectancy. The only two things which seemed unaffected by the 
coming burning of powder were the floor and the heap of coal des- 
-tined io pulverization. 
Dr. Carver's battery of Winchester .22-cal, rifles was all ready and 
so was the Doctor, He was the hero of the bour and avery confident 
nero to boot. His leonine aspect had lost none of its ag-ressive 
f-rocity and he looked at the lumps of blackness with the calmsuperi 
ority of an assured victor. People, well meaning people too, meand 
ered up t) the man of fowing locks and off-hand shots and kindly ad- 
ised him that he was attempting an impossibihiy, that he coudn't 
doit. Nobody could. They couldn't themselves, 
Among those who watched the opening of the match were a large 
number of Yale students. As the hour approached Major Lincoln 
annuunced the judges, referees and scorers as follows: Judges—Gen, 
5. R. Smith, Maj. G. F, Holeomb, Gen. §. E. Mei win, Com. C. W. 
Scranton, Col. L. L. Morgan. Referees—Prof. John EH, Clark, Capt. 
Allen, Lieut. Robert Walker, Maj. H. W. Loomis, A, H, Kellam, 
Scorers—Lieut. A. F, Howard, T. J. Beers, F. A. Chase, R. W, Arm- 
strong, F. A. Waldron. The referée at the start was Piof. John #, 
Clark, of the Sheffield Scientific School. 
Dr. Carver, in a blue blouse and with his breeches tueked into high 
boot, witha small cap ob his head, stepped forward just before tne 
hour struck, He wes enthusiastically greeted and took his stand 
facing the heavy canyas screens, tiie judges, scorers, referees and 
reporters being stationed at tables beneath him, At 12 the referee 
eried “fo,” and instantly a lump of coal was \hrown into the air and 
smashed by a rifle bullet, Two men tossed up -he moying targets. 
Nineteen shots were fired in the first 80 seconds. The coul-heavers 
hecame bewildered bythe fiying bits of anthracite, and tossed wide, 
4 proceeding which caused many misses. Again the Doctor tried his 
luck with moderate success. At 1 o'clock he had fired 1,005 shots and 
missed 160 times, scoring 845 hits. Before the match he had stated 
his intention Of making 500 bits every hour. ; 
At 1:80, with 1,500 shots fired, 1,258 hits had heen seored, with 747 
misses. Thehits forthe hour were 98534. One boy now served tla 
Doctor with coal, and was relieved every 10 minutes. — 
At 2 o'clock 1,si4d shots liad been fired, with 1,522hits scored. At 
1:30 there was a delay of 10 minutes to remedy a defect in an electric 
light. 
The Doctor stands in the irclosure, about 15 feet away frem the 
ball tossers. whe do their work hike a pair of automatons. There are 
several relays of them, so that when they get tied they can be re- 
leased. : 3 
At % o’clock the Doctor dropped his rifle, and with a score of 4,680 
hits to his crevit, retired to his little apar.ment aud brealkias ed. He 
had made 995 misses, Abt 8 o'clock he siretched on the sofa and 
slumbered for about an hour. When he stepped into the inclocure 
shortly befure 10 o’elock he did not look much like & man who had 
been up ull nizht He wasas brignt aud chipperas when he started , 
Owing to the great amouut of dust and the annoyance to the spec- 
tators which the use of piec+s of coal as targets caused, as well as 
the damage the fiying particles would dv to the floor, wooden balls
