EdUo7' FoVest and istrea.m : 



Since the article, entitled "inter-Team Contests" apja^'ared, .Tune 4, 

 In your columns. 1 have received several letters frora secretaries of 

 J.ocal chibs in reference (o ihe Kutiject. Wliile all seem very mucli 

 interested in the pro.ieet. t'lnv? arc many objections to the ijroposed 

 arratigejnents. some of 'i : ' =r'.-, well founded. 



Foi-emost among the -.•!• • I'peared the uuuiber of ten men 



fo eonstirute a teain, I t\r.;r:^ i o:,,iretion is not well fonnded. One 

 of the foremost ohjeci s oi assueiaiing these clubs is to increase an 

 Interest, not only in the imjij-ovenienl. of ihose W'bo are already mem- 

 be-iS of suctL organizar.ions. but to bniJd up our depleted membership, 

 bring otit new men. and develop srood marksmen. Let evci-y mem- 

 ber feel alivelv interest in huildin^^ up the elub as well as improving 

 llis iiidiTidual score. The club of which t am a member cannot miis 

 ttr more tbaii six or seveU reliable shots, and two of them Use and 

 have always used a light pull, set lock or nair trigger; whatever they 

 are called. 



The ncA-t objection seeins to be, "No restriction as to weight of 

 gun, style of sights or pull of trigger." Some wish the gUn. to be 

 "within the National rules." This ohjection 1 concede is well 

 fbuhded, juasmuch as it iS an indisputable fact that such a weapbn 

 is the Only pi-actieal one, should a nian wish to bring- to practical 

 account his skill with the rifle in the field, either in times oi: peace 

 Ipj- war. Personally I should prefer that llie gun should be within 

 the National rules, yet I am aware that under the requirement of a 

 thtee-pouud pull many clubs woidd lose some of their nest marks- 

 inen fo far as these contests are concerned, as I know these Itglit- 

 iiull meii to be in many cases insepai-ably wedded to the set lock. 

 Evidently a gun of greater weight than ten jjounds is not desirable, 

 to the majority at least, aud it might be well to restrict. Personally 

 I should be willing lo shoot even-handed witn any man who wished 

 to shoot with a gun of greater weight 'oil hand." ' I understand that 

 "oft-hand" is defined: Position standing, without artificial rest (either 

 to the body or the gun). I think there was no objecliou to "any 

 sights." The only objection to the target seems to be the fact thar 

 va.rious clubs are accustom&l to certain others, and do not -n ish to 

 change unless some other target should come into universal use. 



In answer to this I have to say that the American decimal was 

 mentioned as being the one best adapted for the purpose, it being 

 one that would definitely record the merits of the marksmen, and at 

 the same time be convenient to transport to headquarters by mail. 

 Should some think it too small for couvemeut sighimg field, there 

 should be no objection to placing it upon a white back ground. The 

 bullseye being tne same, aud the lai'gest rmg equal to the Creedmoor 

 four coimt it would be easy to record equivalents in the Creedmoor 

 and some other targets. 



I think I have answered all the objections of importance. Evidently 

 we should use a uniform target, and my private opinion is that a shot 

 which wotdd miss the four count of the Creedmoor and score a miss 

 by the American decimal is not worthy a record, I do not wish to 

 prescribe rules, but, with others, consider them, and get the ball 

 moving in i;he right direction, with plenty of powder behind it. Let 

 every club intei-ested declare itself in regard to these three principal 

 points, and I think the minor details can be arrived at with little 

 trouble. 



If the secretaries of the various clubs will send me their views and 

 suggestions regarding these points, and any others that they may 

 thinlr fit, 1 will endeavor, with the assistance of members of the 

 Chautauqua Sportsmen's Association, to submit for their approval a 

 set of rules which shall be in accord with the majority as expressed.

 Creedmoor to-day found it rather unpleasantly warm for shooting. 

 Consequently the fifth competition for the gold champi.jn marksman's 

 badge was not as enthnsiastlcally shot for as bas been the case 

 hitherto. The range, however, was in good condition and some 

 fairly gooa marksmanship was exhibited. For the second time this

THE N. G. a. 



(AH OPEN LETTEB.) 



Capt. H. C. West, Chairman Committee National Sportsmen's Con- 

 vention, St. Louis, Mo. : 



Sir— We have this day mailed you the 500 postals (announcing your 

 call Cor the meeting at St. Louis, Sept. 39, 1885) to the gun clubs in the 

 States indicated in your list. It is to be hoped that the call will meet 

 with a hearty response from eveiy side: the National Gun Association 

 wUl undoubtedly do what they can to further your object. Will you 

 kin>Hy permit me, in accordance with the request mentioned in your 

 circular, to make a few public suggestions, as follows: 



First- That you extend the range of your call to all the States and 

 Territories ; and 



Second— That you carefully note Article HI. of the Constitution of 

 the National Gun Association, embodying the objects for which your 

 meeting is cahed. and with the view of considering whether or not it 

 would be practible for your convention to take hold of the work, as 

 Mr. Stark says, "fairly started" and push it to a successful comple- 



, ,^ — .-.^questiin 



from a practical, financial point of view. To make a success of the 

 Association you ai-e about to organize (or of any similar organization) 

 requires net only a large amountof voluntary labor from its constitu- 

 ents, but also and more especially the continuous and salaried labor 

 of one or m-jre paid officials, whose sole business it must be to look 

 after and duly execute the v,'ill of the Association; and this labor, to 

 enforce yom- objei ts, must not only be for a day, month or year, but 

 tor a continued series of years. Hence you must formulate your 

 plans so as to insure the financial support of your main executive 

 ofiioerd trom year to year, so that even when you, the present active 

 spirits, will have retired, the good work which you have started will 

 stiU contimie. Therein lies the defect of existing State sportsmen's 

 associations. If they had but one salaried officer, whose duty and 

 sole business it would be to attend to the objects of the Association, 

 to caU upon the proper State officers to enforce existing laws, to 

 frame petitions to the Legislature, signed by sportsmen throughout 

 the State, for the enactment aud eutorcemeut of better laws, etc., 

 etc., the present good laws would be enforced and the general object 

 attained. Hence it behooves your committee to formulate your 

 plans so as to insm-e a financial system for the future, which will 



jHSliro the salary of at least one officer, who shall d.ivote all bis time 



to enforce your object. 



Now wliat beU(?r plan can ho suggested than an incorporation 

 simUar to that of the National Gun Association? (granted that such 

 an organi/.,a.tion will at tain 1,000 m.^rnljers who pay .^nly annual dues, 

 you can feel secure in that at least one salariea oiri(;er will so be pro- 

 vided; in the course of lime 5,000 similar members can be obtained, 

 aud the number and effie-iency of your ofRcers secured. By thus in- 

 coriioiatiug, you oljtaiu a, tenure of life for your creation which can 

 in no other way be .seciu'od, and tbe rnaohino once fairly estab- 

 lished will i-rm, time without end. Wc presume your committee 

 re;^lii^(^s the a.momitof labor and expense required toobtain sufficient 

 niemf-cr.s and to properly organize such an Incorporation. Why not 

 therefore, sa.\e .\ ourselves this labor and expense by takmg the 

 National tiuu .Vssoeiaiiou under your wmg and completing the work 

 alread.y b.-'gun. its constituti.jji meets your requirements; it has 

 aJioiitlOO active members in thirty-four , States auit Territories; the 

 only argument (ha,t r-an possibly be brought to bear against such a 

 union of combined effort sprmgs from the aspersions of rival target 

 mannfa'iturers. Surely sportsmen will not permit such business 

 rivalries to intei-fere with their community of feeling. Why not, 

 tlierefoi e, use yll your effort to induce your convention to join "The 

 National Oiiii As'soci.ation," amend its constitution, if need be, to 

 ojeet yom- requir^.medts, remove its office aud books to your city, 

 elect si.i,:li a board of directors as may be mutually agreed upon, pro 

 r((7fr to the number of old members and the new members thus se- 

 cured . I am confident that the present members of the National Gun 

 Assoeiation, togetlier with its officers and directors, will agree to do 

 Hie alu.ivo. to dn anything in reas.m which will bring unity Of action 

 in seeui iiiK' the common objects desired.

SAN FRANCISCO, ,Tuly 12.— There was but a slim attendance at 

 San Bruno to-day, owing to the tournament at Colma. The fourth 

 medal shoot of the Cafifornia Wing Club was held, however, and 

 considering that the wind— as usual— w'as unfavorable, some very 

 good scores were made. The match was at 13 single bh-ds, 18yds. 

 n'se, and 80yds. boundary. Robinson faced the ti-aps first and easily 

 made a clean score, but seldom using tne second barrel. Fay fol- 

 lowed and also made 12 straight kills. He made several very difficult 

 shots, and the spectators were considerabl.y surpi-ised at the amount 

 of skill he displayed and the rapidity with which he used his second 

 barrel. Walsh and Kerrigan each scored 11 out of a possible 12. 

 Pearson came next and made a record of 10 kills. The score made 

 was as foUows: 



Robmson ,,.111111111111— IS Kerrigan 111111110111—11 



Fay 111111111111—13 Brant lOllOlllOOll— 7 



Walsh 111111111011-11 Slade 101111011101— 9 



B Golcher 110101111101— 9 Pearson llHllllOOll— 10 



The tie between Robinson and Fay was shot off at 13 birds. Robin- 

 son's sixth bird was a tougn one aud managed to get outside of the 

 boundary although it had two loads of shot in it. This reduced his 

 record to 11. Fay w^as more fortunate and made 24 straight kills. 

 The choice of medals, therefore, came Fay first, Robinson second, and 

 Waish, by permission of Kerrigan, third.
