THE NATIONAL RIFLE CLUB. 



Editor Forest and Stream: xkt it t u 



I read in your April 15 number a card from Mr. W. V. Lowe, who 

 states that the National Rifle Club will hold a meeting at Vernon, 

 Vermont, on the 26th and 27th of May, 1886. , ; 



I am pleased to hear that the old club is still alive and will do some 

 shooting. As Mr. Lowe states I believe it to be "tbe oldest organiza- 

 tion of its kind ia this country, if not in the world." I have known of 

 its existence for the last quarter of a century. Most if not all of its 

 original founders have passed away and their places are filled by 



0t I also note he states that a number of crack experts who shoot with 

 breechloading rifles are to be present and compete in the shooting. 

 As tbe shooting of various members of the club with muzzleloaders 

 has always been regarded as the highest attainable point of excellence 

 for extreme accuracy up to and at the distance at which they shoot, 

 i e 40 rods, it will be interesting to learn whether the improved 

 modern breechloading rifle has been improved sufficiently to beat or 

 even equal the old time gun. 



Mr. Lowo states that muzzleloaders are used by the members of the 

 club exclusively, that is no doubt correct at the present time, still, I 

 haye known breechloaders to be used in the past, at the matches of 

 the National Club, and also of the New York State Rifle Club, an 

 organization similar to it. I have, however, never known or heard of 

 a breechloader winning first place but once in thirty years. 



As the shooting is open to the world, i. e., to any one who pays the 

 entrance fee and conforms to the rules, it is hoped that all shooters 

 who have faith in their pet guns will come forward to take a hand. 

 "From time to time I read articles and letters m tbe pages of the 

 Forest and Strbam, from which I am forced to the conclusion that 

 the writers thereof never saw a really first class M. L. rifle shot. 



I would advise all such to attend the coming shoot, as m all prob- 

 ability if the weather is at all favorable, they will see some shooting 

 done that will be hard to excel with any kind of gun. I am also 

 pleased to see an increasing tendency toward string measurement, as 

 without question it is the only correct way to test the shooting power 

 of either the rifle or the shooter. "In the recent past a Creedmoor 

 target as large as a small barn was thought good enough; then it was 

 reduced, then reduced again, and for the past year the country has 

 been agitated about a target that would suit all kinds of shooting. 



It will never be found, as far as accurate close work is concerned, 

 until string meature is adopted. Again, not long since, it was thought 

 by some discreditable to shoot from a rest. I have even heard some 

 shooters claim that better shooting could be done off-hand than could 

 possibly be done from a rest. I would be pleased to shoot against some 

 of those gentlemen myself under such conditions. G. J . Romeb. 



Peekskill, N. Y. t 



Editor Forest and Stream: . - 



I have read with considerable interest the various articles tnat 

 have appeared from time to time advocating the respective advan- 

 tages as to trajectory and accuracy of muzzleloaders and breech- 

 loaders. Some of your correspondents are apparently basing their 

 claims of the superiority of the muzzleloader on a statement of facts 

 and figures that to my idea are not very highly creditable to any 

 kind of a rifle. Mr. Merrill, in your issue of the 8th mst , for instance, 

 tells us that with his muzzleloader and a rest at a distance ot 32 rods 

 or 176 yards, be killed four turkeys out of twenty shots, and from 

 this wonderful performance he argues that he would soon have won 

 all the balance of the turkeys. It has been a long time since I was 

 at a turkey shoot, but at the last one, if my recollection serves me 

 rightly, turkeys were put up at 40 rods-220yds.-i : r off-hand shoot- 

 ing, and at 80Vods for'shooting from a rest. At the latter distance I 

 recollect that one man killed two out of five shots, or just double Mr. 

 Merrill's performance at nearly three times the distance, and did it 

 with a Sharps breechloader, too. While in Utah a few years since, 

 I had a common militay Sharps hammerlets .45-70, costing, I believe, 

 $13 with which I have frequently put 6, 7, 8, and m one instance 14 

 consecutive shots in an 8in. buUseye at 200yds. off-hand. 



I think it quite possible that a muzzleloadmg hand-made rifle, care- 

 fully rifled by hand, and if not found satisfactory, re rifled, loading 

 with patent muzzle and carefully patched bullet will, at a distance of 

 say 50yds. and at a small target, shoot with more accuracy than 

 most of the factory-made breechloading rifles; but that at this or any 

 greater distance, they will shoot with any more killing accuracy at 

 living game 1 do not believe. I know that I have owned several of 

 the latter class that would bring the game every time at a reasonable 

 distance when held right. Remus.

N. Y. STATE PRACTICE. 



ADJT.-GEN. JOSIAH PORTER has issued the orders for the sea- 

 son's practice by the militia of the State of New York. The ex- 

 perience of previous years has been utilized in the preparation of the 

 scheme of practice. Forty rounds per man will be used, and a sys- 

 tem of duplicate score cards, one coupon to go to the general in- 

 spector immediately after practice, will prevent anything like irregu- 

 larity in the returns. The plan of practice, classification, etc., as 

 prepared by Gen. C. E. Robbins, bead of the rifle department, are 

 incorporated in the order, and provide as follows: 



CLASSIFICATION. 



The third class shall consist of all who do not appear on a range 

 for practice. The second class consists of all present for practice, 

 without reference to qualifications in previous years, and tbe prac- 

 tice in this class will be at 100yds. standing,' on a third class or No. 3 

 target, and at 200yds. kneeling, or sitting, on. a third class or No. 3 

 target. The first class consists of those who score 25 and upward in 

 the second class, and the practice in this class will be at 2O0yds. 

 standing, No. 3 target, and at 500yds, lying prone, No. 2 target. A 

 fcore of 25 and upward in the first class constitutes a marksman, and 

 entitles the maker to receive the State decoration. A score of 12 

 and upward in the first class constitutes a sharpshooter, and entitles 

 tho maker to receive a silver bar. All officers and enlisted men, who 

 practice, must shoot through the regular classes, and are prohibited 

 from shooting for a second or higher score in a class in which they 

 have already qualified. The record must stand upon the first quali- 

 fying score made. No score by officer or enlisted man will be recog- 

 nized, unless made at a target to which he has been regularly as- 

 signed, and where his name has been previously entered on a score 

 blank. 



FIRST GENERAL PRACTICE. 



(a.) Tho practice will commence with class firing in squads, under 

 a competent non commissioned officer or other duly designated in- 

 structor at each firing point, and the whole under the supervision of 

 an inspector of rifle practice, subject to the orders of the command- 

 ing officer present. Five consecutive shots will be fired at each 

 distance. This practice will be continued to the end by all present 

 without reference to the scores recorded, except that those who fail 

 to qualify in the second class may be restricted to two shots for 

 practice at each of the higher ranges. The practice of 500yds. may 

 be postponed until after the course of firing in ranks. In regular 

 class practice no officer or enlisted man will be permitted to fire 

 more than five consecutive shots at any one distance on the same 

 day, except the necessary sighting shots to ascertain elevation, 

 windage and the condition of pieces, which may be fixed by officers or 

 well instructed men, under the inspection or approval of an inspect or 

 of rifle practice. Trial practice between classes will not be permitted. 

 At the first distance of either class (i. e., at 100 or 200yds.) a score of 

 12 or upward is considered as qualifying, and second practice may 

 be allowel to such men as fail to qualify at either distance (as above), 

 provided time wilt permit; but third practice shall not be allowed in 

 any case. If, however, the entire tour of duty, including volley and 

 skirmish, has been performed, and time still permits, such practice 

 may be had as (he inspector of rifle practice deems proper. Those 

 who mav have qualified at 200 and 500yds., but not at 100 and 200, 

 may make their scores valid by practicing through the second class 

 without shooting in the first again. 



In regular practice each enlisted man will shoot with the piece 

 issued by tbe Ordnance Department of the State, and brought by him 

 on the ground, unless tbe same is declared imperfect by an inspector 

 of rifle practice. In that case the man may shoot with the nearest 

 approved piece in the ranks. 



(W Volley Firing, 5 Rounds.— F-'ring in ranks at 100yds. shall then 

 be taken up in the following order, the squad or company being 

 formed in single rank: Fire by squad (or company). 3 rounds. Fire 

 by f quad (or company), kneeling, 2 rounds. 



(c) Firing as Skirmishers.— The tro >ps shall be exercised as skirm- 

 ishers from 325 to 100yds. and return; firing on the advance, 1 round 

 800yds., 1 at 200yds. and 1 at 100yds., and on the retreat 1 at 150yds.. 

 and 1 at 250yds., great care being taken by each commanding officer 

 that the men are "deliberate and cautious, that no accident may hap- 

 pen. Officers should use discretion and tact, varying the drill ac- 

 cording to their ground and targets, deploying men and taking such 

 ves as targets and range will allow: each body of troops to be 

 so divided that no more may be exercised at one time than can be 

 readily handled on tbe range, a second class target being used. As 

 soon as the last (fifth) shot is fired, assemble on the right (or left), 

 thus leaving the front uncovered, so that the second squad or com- 

 pany may deploy; during this time the marking can be done. Com- 

 manding* officers are particularly cautioned to use great care in 

 handling their men, having the clement of safety in view at all times. 



SECOND OR VOLUNTARY GENERAL PRACTICE. 



Those present, will practice in the classes to which they respectively 

 belong In other respects the tour of duty will be identical with that 

 prescribed for first general practice, including volley firing and firing 

 as skirmishers. . 



RANGE AND GALLERY. 



FAIRMONT, Minn., April 27.— Five members of the Fairmont Guards 

 (Co D 2d Regiment M. N. G.) spent the afternoon at the range and
