GIVE THE PROOF. 



Editor Forest and Stream-- 



I notice in a late issue of Forest and Stream the advertisement of 

 the Bullard Arms Company, claiming for their ,40-75gr. rifle a traject- 

 tory of 6in. rise in 200yds., and for their .45.85 rifle a trajectory of 

 6J^in. rise for same range; this with factory ammunition; that is, the 

 former with 75grs. of powder and a 225gr. bullet, and the latter with 

 85grs. of powder and a 285gr. bullet. 



There are a good many sportsmen who agree with me that there is 

 a mistake in this claim that will be made manifest in a public trial. 

 Forming an opinion from the published experiments for several years 

 past appearing in your columns, and from an understanding of the 

 result of similar experiments in England, such a flat trajectory has 

 never been made with much larger charges of powder. The express 

 rifle giving the greatest speed to its ball, as far as published, was a 

 .45-eal., using 150grs. of powder and 270gr. bullet . and that was 2,000ft. 

 per second. Even this ball has a trajectory of at least 8in. rise in 

 going 200yds. Yet here we have a rifle with a lighter hall (giving it a 

 speed of 1,700 to 1,750ft. per second) and yet making a trajectory of 

 only 6in. (or 2in. less) going 200yds. 



There is no record of as flat a trajectory ever having been made by 

 any rifle, in any locality, and a good many sportsmen will agree with 

 the writer, in thinking that the Bullard Arms Company are doing in- 

 justice to a doubtles meritorious arm, by claiming for it what can- 

 not be substantiated in a public trial. Its cost will be little, but the 

 advantages to the Bullard Arms Company in case they can sub- 

 stantiate their claim will be very great in the increased sale of their 

 rifle. By a public trial is not meant the method where the shooter 

 first sights the rifle for 200yds. and then goes up to the point 90yds. 

 from the target and shoots a group of shots, using the 200yds. sight 

 and then measuring to the center of the group. This is not a public 

 trial, for there is no one beside the shooter wno knows how the aim 

 is taken and there can consequently be no witness. 



The only reliable way is to catch the position of the bullet in flight 

 at its highest point, by its puncture through very thin paper, and then 

 measuring from the puncture down to the line joining the center of 

 bullseye on the target, and the center of bore of rifle at the firing 

 point. This process is very feasible and very reliable when the line 

 is fixed by disinterested and competent persons. 



We think the Winchester Company claim somewhat too flat a curve 

 for their Express, and for their .40-60 rifle, and this could be settled 

 at the same time. The opinion is hazarded that either of the Bullard 

 rifles above referred to will not make a flatter trajectory in 200yds. 

 than any good sporting rifle, using the .70 405 Government cartridge; 

 i. e., about 11-inch rise. Rifleman. 



RANGE AND GALLERY. 



JAMESTOWN, N. Y., May 2. -Scores of the eight best men com- 

 peting for prizes during March and April, Creedmoor target, reduced 

 from 200yds. to the gailery distance. A shot to score a bull must cut 

 half the ball in. Position, standing, free from all artificial support, 

 20 strings of twelve consecutive shots to constitute the prize score, 

 making a possible 1,200 count. Seven out of the eight men whose 

 scores are reported shoot with both eyes open, and some wonderful 

 improvement has been made by beginners in that way of sighting. 

 The contestants were allowed a handicap of from one to ten points 

 on each string of twelve shots:

Mr. J. E. Bloom, general manager of the Association, speaking to 

 the members upon the adoption of the report of Secretary Bishop, 

 said:

 Association is now fairly started ; its eventual success on the broad 

 bay is upon which it is outlined depends entirely upon the support 

 which the shooting fraternity extends toward it. All sportsmen are 

 doubtless now watching its course; a few are predicting its failure, 

 but the man v feel gratified to see the enterprise safely on its feet, and 

 upon such especially do we wish to impress the importance of theii 

 now giving the Association not only their silent approval, but also 

 and more especially their active financial support, without which the 

 main objects of the Association cannot be successfully accomplished. 

 As your daily experience shows you, it requires money as well as 

 brains to carry out any project. We flatter ourselves that the 118 

 and odd members we now muster furnish a fair nucleus for the latter
