Revolver Shooting in England. 



London. Eng.. March 24— Editor Forest end Stream: The South 

 London Rifle Club which bas the principal revolver shots in Eng- 

 land as members, bas begun its season, hiving shifted its shoot- 

 ins ground from Nunheao, London, to Runemede. This change 

 of ground admits of Jong-rang" rifle shooting, their old ground 

 no* having a lonee r range than 600yds. 



Revolver scooting will not commence at the club till May, when 

 there will be two sets of revolver competitions at 20yds. twice a 

 week till the Bisley meeting, and once a week afterward, till Oct. 

 27, when tb a season e> d«. 



Th» new Bitley revolver target will be need <2in. bullseye). The 

 competitions will bp; First series, stationary target; second 

 series, disappearing target. The cbamoionship of tbe> club to go 

 to the member wtio makes the rive highest scores on five separate 

 club davs in either series No. 1 o r seres No. 2. 



Mr. Walter Winans, the present holder of the club champion- 

 ship, intends not to shoot ti'l after the Bisley meeting in July, 

 and then if in England, to trv an" make his scores for the cham- 

 pionship in Series 1— the stationary target. 



There mav be a 50?ds. revolver competition la + er on in the year. 



The record for revolver shooing a.t t hp new Bislev Si lyds. tar- 

 get, has he°n advanced another p-fint by Mr. WaUer Winans. 



On April 18, at the Sheepcot Range, Brighton, England, in a 

 drizzling rain and gustv wind from the right., he made within one 

 point of the highest possible on the new Bisley 4in. bullseve at 

 50vds. (41b«. figgor pull, English army ammunition) with a Smith 

 & Wesson revolver. . u , , , 



This is one point better than be made on Ann! 5, which was the 

 record tip +o that, date, he using that time a Russian model .44cal. 

 Smith & Wesson. . . . . 



It has been decided bv the council of the English National Rifle 

 Association to have the new 20 d. 2in buUseye of the revolver 

 target count seven points (instead of six as originally suggested). 

 This is tr> facilitate comnaring scores with tho^e made in former 

 years, when there wis a 2 n. "'carton," counting the same number 

 of points at the same distance. X.

The following letter has been received from Elmer E. Shaner.of 

 Pittsburgh. Pa., anent ihe great interstate shoot to be held tbere 

 next week: " Tne Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' Asso- 

 ciation's trap-shooting tournament, to be given at, Pittsburgh 

 May 3, 4 and 5, gives every promise of b°ing the largest ever given 

 by this Association. The Pittsburgh Gun Club is boom'Cg every- 

 thing at borne, and the boys are practicing nearly ev» r> day to get 

 in good shape for it. as they want to make a go&d showing against 

 what they are pleased to call the 'cracks.' "

Th« Independent Gun Club annonuce a tournament to be held 

 at Plainfi Id. N. J., on Julv 21 and 23. when biuereck targets will 

 be thrown from five exp -rt traps. Tr-e events will be open to i>ll 

 and t o handicaps will be imposed. The erounds of this club are 

 beautifully located for a summer shoot and a pleasant time is 

 assured-

The Boiling Springs E'ish and Gun Club of Rutherford announce 

 an all-day tournament, in connection with tbe fourth monthly 

 te8m contest, of the New Jersey Trap SbO"t<-rs League. Shooting 

 will begin a' 8:30 A. M„ and cont nue until daru. 1 am pleased to 

 state that the club will use two sets of five traps each, instead of 

 one set of ten as at the previous contests. This will enable sweep- 

 stake shooting to contiuue all davononeeet of traps while the 

 other is being us< d for the team contest. Bluerock targets will 

 be used and the traps will be spring, by means of Paul North's 

 electric pull. 



At the tournament of t v e Knoxv"le (Tenn.) Gun Club on May 

 24 25 and 26, the club will add $500 to the purses a"d will also 

 offer a number of valuable merc bandise prizes. This is a big im- 

 provement over the old plan of offering guaranteed purses. 



Considerable discussion has been indulged in among the man- 

 agers of the annual tou nament of the New Yoi k State Sports- 

 men's Association, to be held at, Mapte Ba/y, Syracuse, on June 18 

 to 19 inclusive, as to the adv saoility of tnrowicg any of the 

 sweepstake even's open to nor -residents of tbe State. During the 

 bluerock tournament at Syracuse last week tbe writer, in a coti- 

 versa.'ion withAl Spangler and CharW Mowry, suggested that 

 all tbe programme evenis be "cPsed," hut that in order to gi ve 

 non-resident visitors an opportunity to esjoy themselves an extra 

 set, of traps be provided for their use. The suggestion was favor- 

 ably received and the above gentlemen slated that they would 

 use all their infl lenc-e to have provision made for the non-resi- 

 dent shooters. At this point Paul North offered to come 10 Syra- 

 cuse with a set of expert traps, electric pulls and a. load of blue- 

 rock targets for the use ot the "non-residents," and lurther 

 guaranteed to assume all the dufes of running tne "nor -resident" 

 events. This offtr was also favorably received, and I am confi- 

 dent that in the near future we will be able 10 announce that a 

 series of "non-resident events" will be included in the regular 

 programme. 



J. Harvard Brcuse, one of the best known sportsmen in Phila- 

 delphia, a rattling good target and live bird shot and a senial 

 companion withal, has assumed fall co"trol of the Atlantic City 

 Gun Clnb house and grounds, at the Inlet, Atlantic Ci'y. N. J. 

 Mr. Brousn will be pleased at all times to ste any of his friends at 

 this popular resort, and will alwajs be ready for a friendly 

 shoot.

In the recent performance of Rollo Seikeg— breaking 509 targets 

 in 40m. 40s.— he was to have used thTee L. C Smith puns, but as 

 one of those furn'shed had too much drop, he did tbe mos f of his 

 work with tw o guts. This speaks well for the "lasting qualities" 

 of this arm.

The Johnstown (N. Y.) Gun Club bas h-sued an attractive pro- 

 gramme for their tournament to be held in conjunction with the 

 team conie t of t h e Easteru New York Trap Shooters' L°ague on 

 May 4. Kingbird targets will be used and a great day's sport is 

 promised. 



A pleasant letter from E. C Rudge, Secretary of the Cortland 

 County (N. V.) Gun Cluo informs u« that a kingbird tournament 

 will be beld by that live'y organization on Mav 11 and 12, when 

 the new cluh house will be formally opened. On the first day the 

 entries will not exceed fifty cents per sweep, and shooters may 

 shoot for birds only if they wish. 



Syracuse is to have a new gun club and Forest and Stream is 

 first to proclaim the fact. The new organization, which will be 

 known as the Syracuse Gun Club, will be to tbe Central City what 

 the Riverton Gun Cluo is to Philadelphia, exctp .ing that it will 

 be a little less exclusive. The prime movers in the formation of 

 th« new c'uh are Al Spangler, Harver McMurchy. W. E. Hook- 

 wav. Geo. W. Hollawa* , A. C Gm<y, Monroe Stnith, Charles L. 

 Backer, W. H. Holden. D- K. Pettitt. Geo. Moaber, Horace White, 

 Bert Smith, Epnry M. (thase Geo. Lamed, Harry G. Duiind, F. 

 C. Eddy. H. R. Frazier, John E. Harwood, Dr. Geo. Neariug, Wm. 

 Nottingham. Alfred WilBinsnn. W. S. Andrews and Charles An- 

 drews, all of whom are respected business men of the< ity. and 

 enthusiastic sportsmen as well. The club has procured grounds 

 near the Syracuse University, tbe electric car- piss'ng directly 

 by them. At present the work will be confined to target shoot- 

 ing, although live-bird shooting will be inaugurated in the near 

 future. The club ba« purchased ten expert traps with electric pulls, 

 and will throw bluerock targets exclusively. The price per target 

 to be paid by members will be jnsr enough above the cost of tbe 

 target to clear the running expenses.

Shooter, Gun, Shells. 



Editor Forest, and Stream: 



To keep up with ihe nines I will say: "F»uny isn't it'/" when a 

 man makes a good score he wants everybody to know if, aud to 

 make the story sound, shooters (is a rub ) say it was the gun or 

 the shells or powder or some other thi'g: n -t the man. In this 

 case as I have nothing to say about the guu I used, only just to 

 admit that I used a u.un to sboot with, >o I am going to la\ it on 

 to the shells I U'ed, which were U. M. C. (Cm 1 ) machine loaded 

 shflls. At a. puolic t' urnameut at Moodus. Cono., Aur 1 15, 1 shot 

 at 170 single targets and missed 15. On my fir t 100 birds shot at, 

 (witn8p*irof doubles included), I nioke ?4. I used theAload 

 black nowder and bought my shells on the giounof.
