Rifle Notes. 



The Williamsburgh Schuetzen Corps, Captain G. A. Schmidt, of 

 Brooklyn, N. Y., has removed its headquarters to No, 139 Evergreen 

 avenue. Beginning No. 12 tbe corps will shoot twice a month during 

 the winter season for the club trophies. 



In the issue of Forest and Stream of Oct. 7, under the heading of 

 "Rifle Notes," we gave the shooting societies a short diatribe upon 

 what we considered to be the proper thing to build up a healthy 

 interest in shooting matters. We are pleased to note that the germ 

 of our advice has struck soil in many directions and the result is that 

 we hear of a renewed interest upon the part of many of our local 

 societies in adopting gallery iiractice for tbe wmter season. The 

 New York and the New York City Bchuetzen Corps have formulated 

 programmes for a winter shoot, and we hear that several others of 

 our New York societies are considering the advisabihty of adopting 

 the same course. 



The three-days' prize shoot of the Empire Rifle Club, with head- 

 quarters at No. 12 St. Marks place, New York city, which was opened 

 on Saturday, Nov. 4, was highly successful. There was a large 

 attendance of prominent riflemen from the many shooting societies 

 In and about New York. The competition was brisk during the three 

 days and many good scores were the result. 



We read with interest the rifle notes of our Paciflc Slope contribu 

 tor "Roeel," which appeared in last week's issue. As we have hereto- 

 fore remarked, we wish that the east and the extreme western part of 

 this country could be brought still closer together, so that our great 

 army of ^rifle shooters could have greater facilities for social inter- 

 course and friendly competition on the range. However, we have a 

 medium of intercourse open to us in thi^ columns of Forest aud 

 Stream, and while this old standard of the true sportsman abides with 

 us we may feel, as week by week we peruse its columns, that a kindred 

 Interest draws us into those close fraternal relations that even the 

 breadth of a contment cannot separate. To ''Roeel" we would say 

 keep up the Intercourse, let us know what the brotherhood on the 

 Paciflc Slope are saying and doing. In the words of that good old 

 mother to her departing son, "Write often." 



While the riflemen who had been engaged in the contest at Wissel's 

 on Tuesday, Nov. 7, were discussing the merits of Mr. Wissel's game 

 dinner, a match was made between Gus Zimmerman and Fred C. Ross, 

 for 100 shots a man, $100 a side. The match to be oft'-hand (.no palm 

 rest), both men to shoot lubricated bullets loaded from the breech, 

 without cleaning. To many who know the two sbooters, the first imr 

 pression would be that the match was somewhat one-sided. But when 

 the conditions are taken into consideration, there is but little choice 

 between them. 



The champion match at Cypress Hills Parfe has been the means of 

 creating renewed interest in rifle shooting. There is every prospect of 

 there being several individual matches made and shot off before the 

 winter sets in. 



Providence Should Have a Club. 



Proyidknok, E. I., Oct. Editor Forest and Stream: It has often 

 occurred to me very strange that a city like Providence has no rifle 

 club. Why don't some of our riflemen get together and form some 

 Buch an organization? To be sure the militia boys have their shoots 

 all summer, but there is a class of shooters who cannot spare a day 

 every week to practice; but if a club was formed, a good indoor 

 range started and some interest shown, why wouldn't it he a success 

 here as well as in our other cities? Are we going to let that old arm, 

 the rifle, fall into disuse? We can't use them in the woods hereabouts 

 on account of the danger, but it looks as if there is a day coming 

 when we shall be glad to do our shooting in an indoor range, and with 

 the rifle. Game is getting more and more scarce, and sometunes 

 aft«r tramping a good day in the woods we come home without hav- 

 ing fired the gim. 



As for a matter of economy, indoor rifle practice, with our low- 

 priced ai ms and ammunition, should be one of the most popular. 

 Who can say that the sport is not fascinating? Not many who have 

 tried it, I am sure. 



Of course there are one or two rifle galleries here in Providence, 

 but all gentlemen sportsmen have experienced the company they 

 generally attract. "Sports," but not sportsmen. 



Now I for one would like to hear the views of some of our riflemen 

 here in this city, and should this fall under the notice of any such, 

 Should be pleased to communicate with them. Look at the fun the 

 boys are having in the clubs in other cities and see what we are miss- 

 ing. Come, who wUl start the ball rolling. A. C. H. 



Greenville Rifle Club.

 have good prizes for all sorts of pistol shooting and a championship 

 jewel for the competitor making the highest aggregate score at both

Miller Rifle Club. 



Amokg the many shooting societies located in Hoboken, N. J., there 

 is none more prominent for its many victories and the distinction of 

 its members as crack shots, than that old club known as the Miller 

 Rifle Club. The club derives its name from that old and well known 

 rifleman, David MUler; a man who in the earlier history of the now 

 famous Zettler Rifle Club, was one of its most reliable team members. 

 The Miller Club has upon its membership rolls some of the best off- 

 hand rifle shots in the country, and the history of the club is replete 

 with victories gained over the best and strongest rifle clubs located in 

 New Jersey. The club whose headquartexs is located at No, 423 Wash- 

 ington street, is now in a flourishing condition, and its members are 

 highly interested in the winter gallery shoot. Scores of the members 

 participating in the weekly shoot, Wednesday, Nov. 1 ; 10 shots, 25-ring 



Dewey 206. 



Empirie Rifle Club. 



""On Tuesday, Oct. 31, the Empire Rifle Club held its regular weekly 

 gallery shoot for club medals, 6 members participating. Wm. Rosen- 

 baum, the crack .shot of the r-hib distioguishing himself by making a 

 total of 1.205 points on the 2.5-ring target in a series of 50 consecutive 

 shots. This is a flrsr clu.^s average on this range, which by the way 

 is full 100ft.; Rosen ba urn's best effort in 10 shots during the evening 

 was 245. The next best seore was made by Ben Zahn, who made 241. 

 Zahn will with min e experience be a hard man to beat, either at 

 800yds. or In the gallery. The «i ores are appended, 10 shots, 20-ring 

 target, distance lllOft : Wm. R<: seubauni 245. Ben Zahn 241, Henry 

 Zettler 2.38, H. Rosensi j aus n». Chas Zettler, Jr. 836, W. Busse 235. 



The three days' gpllery prize shoot of the Empire Rifle Club, which 

 was opened on Saturday nigVt, Nov. 4, was brought to a sucbessful 

 close on Monday night, Nov. 6. 



Many of the local shooting societies were represented by their best 

 marksmen. There were also several delegations of riflemen from Coh- 

 necticut and New Jersey. 



Among the many visitors from New Jersey were M. Hickey, of th6 

 Friday Night Club, Hoboken; Messrs. Mahlenbrock, Bird, Ebe, Middle- 

 ton. Pfeffenberger and Busch, of the Hudson Rifle Club, Jersey City; 

 Michael Dorrler, Greenville Rifle Club, Greenvflle. From Connecticut 

 came Mr. Harry M. Pope, of Hartford, and Mr. S. J. Lyons, of Col- 

 IinsvUle. Among the local experts who took part in the contest were 

 Fred. 0. Ross. Louis Flach, C. G. and B. Zettler, of the Zettler Rifle 

 Club; Chas. Horney, of the Wflhamsburg Shooting Society. Brooklyfa. 

 The programme called for 12 prizes ranging from $25 down to $1. 



The competition for the first position on the prize list was extremely 

 lively to the end of the tournament, and when the last shot was fired 

 and the resiflts of the three da.ys' shooting footed up, it was found 

 that the honors for first position belonged to that old expert, M. 

 Dorrler, with two scores of 74 each or a total of 148 points out of a 

 possible 150. Henry Holges and Chas. Hutch were both close behind, 

 the former with a total of 147 and the latter with 110. The range 

 being full 100ft. long and the center of the bullseye only J^in. in 

 diameter, calls into play the test exertions of the rifleman, close 

 shooting rifles and tbe best of ammunition. The rifles used by the 

 experts in this contest were the Winchester (single-loader) and the 

 Ballard. On the question of ammunition and its merits they were 

 divided, some using U. M. C. and others .the Winchester (.22 rim-fire 

 short). Considering the inexpensiveness of these little cartridges, 

 their close shooting qualities are remarkable. The scores, tickets 3 

 shots, 2 best tickets to count:

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



Matches galore are on the tapis, and aU of which we have cogni- 

 zance should be well contested, the principals in each case being 

 closely matched. One of those which will interest Jerseymen partic- 

 ularly wiU take place at Willard's Park, Paterson, on Thursday, Dec. 

 7. the prmcipals being Dr. P. J. Zeglio of VVarrenviUe, N. J , andT. W. 

 Morfey of Paterson. Each man will shoot at fifty live birds, 30yds. 

 rise, 50yds. boundary, otherwise Hurlingham rules to govern. Dr. 

 Zeglio is a well-known member of tbe Newark Gun Club and in form is 

 a good ninety per cent. man. The bulk of his shooting has been in 

 team matches and sweepstake shooiing, and this will be his iaitial 

 contest as a match shooter in this locality. Morfey is a seasoned 

 match shooter and is weU known in shooting circles as a steady man 

 before the traps. Another proposed match wifl be of interest to both 

 New Jersey and Pennsylvania if arranged. The challenge for this Is 

 probably now en route. The ohaUenging parties are John Rofchaker
