RANGE AND GALLERY. 



REST SHOOTING. 



Editor Forest and, Stream: 



Living in a locality where there are no rifle ranges nor shooting 

 clubs and very fow rifle shooters. I am forced, when the shooting 

 fever comes on, which it has periodically for tho last thirty years, 

 to shoot it out alone. 



This winter 1 have given my greatest attention to the shooting 

 of .22-calibers at rest , and as some of the work was beyond my own 

 expectations, I believe the result of my experimenting will be of 

 interest to a, portion of your readers. While I have barrels for 

 both long aud short cartridges, my practice has been mostly with 

 a 24in. .33 Maynard, using the short 3-grain Winchester rim-fire 

 cartridge. My shooting has been with globe sights a t a plain white 

 target, 2y£ to 3in. rouare, for 25yds., audi to 5in. square for 50yds. 



The shooting was done from a little 8x13 building, well warmed 

 and comfortable, from which I could laugh at snow and rain. 



In all cases the center of the target was the center shot at and 

 measured from. 



Iu 50 consecutive shots at 50yds., the only shots fired from the 

 gun that day, the total measurement was 25 14-16in., and not a 

 shot outside a 2in. ring. 



in 100 consecutive shots at 25yds., the total measurement was 

 2Wn„ an average of 2J4in. in each string of 10 shots, hitting a J^in. 

 oullseye 8 times m 10. 



Inclosed are exact copies of 3 targets of 5, 10 and 30 consecutive 

 shots in each, all at 75ft. In the first the 5 shots are entire! y inside 

 b ].;»in. ring; in the second the centers of the 10 shots are inside, 

 and in the third all the 30 shots hit a J^in. spot. 



In the vast amount of shooting that has been done with . 22-cali- 

 bers in galleries and elsewhere, there may have been many tar- 

 -■, made better than these; but to make them requires not onlv 

 o good shooter, a good gun, good ammunition, great care and 

 pains, but a certain amount of good luck with all the rest. 



South Haven. Mich. H. M. Avery. 



BOSTON. Feb. 5,— The light proved trying to the eyes of the 

 riflemen at Walnut Hill to-day, but the other important condition, 

 wind, proved to he excellent, and the large number of riflemen 

 present enioTed themselves immensely.

 shot at*200yds. was on Dec. 18, the shooting was good; and in the 

 near future vou can look for better scores.— Williamspoht.

SCHUYLER.— Mr. Jacob Rutsen Schuyler, who was the senior 

 member of the firm of Schuyler, Hartley & Graham, died at his 

 home, at Bergen Point, Feb. 4. He was stricken with paralysis 

 several months ago and never recovered. Two weeks ago he fell, 

 injuring his head, and the shock caused his death. The deceased, 

 who was 70 years old, amassed a fortune during the war by furn- 

 ishing military equipments. When the city of Bayonne was in- 

 corporated in 1869 he was selected as one of the Town Couucil and 

 was first president of the Board of Council. He resigned two years 

 later. The deceased was a lineal descendant of Phillip Picterus 

 Van Schuler, who left Amsterdam, Holland, iu 1650, and settled 

 at Fort Orange. His mother was a member of the Van Rensselaer 

 family. Mr. Schuyler married a Miss Sarah Edwards, a descend- 

 ant of Jonathan Edwards. She died about ten years ago. He 

 leaves two sons and four daughters, all of whom except two are 

 married. 



NEWARK, Feb. 2.— The return match between Mr. Dorrler, of 

 Die Zettler Club of New York, and Mr. Godfrey Snellen, of the 

 Essex Club of this city, was shot in the Essex range to-night, in 

 the presence of a large number of riflemen from both cities. Mr. 

 Dorrler took the lead at the start, and won by the most remarka- 

 ble shooting. In fifteen strings of ten shots each, with 120 possible 

 he made 1,752. His lowest string was 113, and he made 119 twice, 

 118 four times and 117 five times. Snellen's lowest string waslO& 

 his highest 118 and his total 1,716. Dorrler's average was 116 4-5 

 and Snellen's 113^. The prize was worth |50. J. Coppersmith, of 

 the Essex team, has made a match of 100 shots for $50 with Mr. 

 Walter, of New York.

WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 3.— The Wilmington Rifle Club is now 

 equipped for indoor as well as field shooting. Having arranged 

 for gallery shooting some of the members assembled at their 

 headquarters this ovening for a match at short range. I inclose a 

 plan of the target we are using for gallery practice. It is a modi- 

 fied Hinman target, reduced in proportion from 200yds. for 12f£. 

 It was necessary to drop the 5 and 7 circles as well as the divisions 

 of the bnllscyc, because so great a reduction brought the rings too 

 close together for practical purposes, but the bullseyeand remain- 

 ing rings are in exact proportion to the 200yds. target. We count 

 a bullsoye as 9, because that is the average value of the Hinman 

 bullscye. Our target is a steel plate with a >£in. hole for bullsoye, 

 leading to the gong hammer back of the target, and the circles are 

 traced on the face. The members are well pleased with the target, 

 as a. score made on it will correspond very closely with one made 

 in the field on the larger target, as tiie reduction of the "possible" 

 compensates for t he absence of tho rings, i inclose score made 

 this evening, but it is not up to average as our light was not good:

 "Ever since a toddling child she has had an inherent love for fire- 

 arms and hunting, and at the age of ten she, as often as ammu- 

 nition was obtainable, would smuggle her brother's musket and 

 steal into the woods, where game at that time was plentiful. 

 Na turally she was a good shot and came homo well supplied with 

 game. At the age of twelve she was presented with a 14-gauge 

 muzzleloading shotgun. With this she improved rapidly and be- 

 came, such a fine shot that she rarely missed quail or pheasant; 

 and at tho age of fourteen she had paid off a mortgage on her 

 father's homestead with money earned from the sale of game and 

 skins, shot and trapped by herself alone. Then came a local repu- 

 tation, and with improved firearms she attracted wider notice. 

 For the past five years she has been shooting before the public 

 with great success. The first two years before the public she de- 

 voted to rifle and pistol shooting, and there is very little in that 

 line she has not accomplished. At Tiffin, 0„ she once shot a ten- 

 cent piece held between the thumb and forefinger of an attend- 

 ant at a distance of 30ft. In April, 1884, she attempted to beat the 

 best record made at balls thrown in the air, using a .22-cal. rifle. 

 The best record was 979. made by Dr. Ruth. Miss Oakley used a 

 Stevens .22-cal. rifle and broke 943. Her first attempt at clay-pigeon 

 and trap-shooting was made about three years ago in Cincinnati, 

 shooting with such fine shots as Baudle, McMurchy and other 

 noted shots. 



"In February, 1885, she attempted the feat of shooting at 5,000 

 bails in one day, loading the guns herself. In this feat she used 

 three 10-gauge 'hammer guns. The balls were thrown straight away 

 from three traps, 15yds. rise. Out of the 5,000 shot at she broke 4,772. 

 On the second thousand she only missed 16, making the best 1,000 

 ball record— 984. This feat was accomplished near Cincinnati, O., 

 in less than nine hours. 



"Besides the thousands of exhibitions she has given, she has shot 

 in 31 matches and tournaments, winning 35 prizes. Her collection 

 of medals and firearms, all of which have been won or presented to 

 her, is considered the best in America. 



"She has hunted in many of the game sections of America and 

 Canada, aud says, with a pardonable pride, that she has shot quail 

 in Virginia, ducks in Illinois, prairie chickens in Kansas and deer 

 in northern Michigan. Her style and position at the trap is con- 

 sidered perfection by such critics as Budd, Sticc, Erb, Bogardus, 

 Cody, Carver and the English champions, Graham and Price. 

 Shooting clay-pigeons she has a record of 96 out of 100. At Jive 

 pigeons her 'best record is 23 out of 25, made in a match for S100. 

 what makes Miss Oakley's feats more surprising is the fact that 

 she is small in stature and weighs only llOlbs." 



TORONTO, Jan. 29.— The second competition for the silver cup 

 presented by the Canada Blackbird Company, of Niagara, Out., 

 which was first shot for in Mr. McDowall's tournament last 

 December, took place at Eglinton to-day. Fourteen competitors 

 entered the contest, among whom were some from Hamilton and 

 Niagara. The day was bright and clear, and could not have been 

 better suited for artificial bird shooting. About 100 spectators 

 were present, and were treated to some fine shooting by Messrs. 

 Stroud, of Hamilton, and "VVayper, of Hespeler, who. having tied 

 at IS out of 20 at 18yds., went back 3yds. and tried again at 5; then 

 tied again, breaking 3 out of 3 each. After this it was miss and go
