[May 19, 1894. 



Miller Rifle Club. 



The eighth annual prize shoot of the Miller Rifle Club, which took 

 place in Union Hill Park on May 7, was somewhat of a disappoint- 

 ment to the club and its friends. The hard times and lack of interest 

 in shooting matters was made prominent by the absence of many of 

 our expert riflemen. Among the visiting riflemen were to he seen 

 Messrs. Goodman, Mays and Horn, of the Heidenreich Club; Ross, 

 Holsres, Flach, Dorrlef and Plaisted, of the Zettler Club: Rebhan and 

 Mahlenhrock, of the Hudson Club, and L P. Hansen, of the Excelsior 

 Club. The weather was clear with a strong west wind. The riflemen 

 with the small calibers and light bullets got many unexpected shots. 

 On the ring target the honor for high score fell to Fred C. Ross with 

 73 and 70; Ross was also high for the first premium for the ten best 

 tickets. On the bullseve target, best center shot to count, the first 

 prize went to D. Peters. The first premium for the most bullseyes 

 went to Fred 0. Ross with 27. The first prize on the target of honor 

 was won by L. Vogel with 67. The programme on the ring target 

 called for fifteen prizes, ranging from $35 down to $2, three shots per 

 ticket, two best to count. Three premiums for the best ten tickets, 

 $8, $5 and $3. On the bullseye target there were twelve prizes rang- 

 ng from $20 to $2. Three premiums for the most bullseyes, $10, $i 

 and $3. Scores:

RIFLE NOTES. 



At last the possible has been made east of the Great Divide and the 

 honor falls upon one of our old experts, a man whose friends claim is 

 passi so far as the rifle is concerned. We refer to the work of our 

 old friend Michael Dorrler at the Williamsburgh Corps festival, at 

 Wissel's Cypress Hills Park, on May 13, when he made the possible 75 

 in 3 shots on the German ring target. For many years our expert 

 riflemen have labored hard and entered often at various festivals 

 hoping to make the possible 75 points on this target, but until George 

 Heiffs, of California, reached the goal at the mid-winter shoot on the 

 Pacific coast thi8 spring the possible score has been a sort of will-o'- 

 the-wisp to all of us. We esteem it a pleasure to extend our congratu- 

 ba.< ions to this old veteran in having reached the goal at last. 



M. Dorrler informs us that there will be no further individual match 

 between him and Ross. In fact, he says he retires from all match 

 shooting for the future. That he should come to such a decision at 

 this time will be a disappointment to many friends of the rifle. 



Several members of the New York Rifle Club took advantage of the 

 fine weather on Saturday of last week and paid a visit to Armbruster's 

 Park in Greenville, N J. Among those who tried their hands at mak- 

 ing center shots were Dr, Chadoourne and Messrs. Hamilton. Isbel, 

 Duane, Gensch and one or two others whose names we did not succeed 

 in catching on to. On the 30th of this month the club will begin its 

 season shoot in this park, shooting every Saturday. 



Out rifle promoter, Plaisted, made the following appended scores on 

 Saturday of last week, using a cartridge loaded as follows: Ballard 

 rifle, .38-55, 42grs FG Hazard powder and a priming charge of 3grs. 

 SK nitro powder, using the 21^ U. M. C. primer and lubricated bul- 

 lets, distance 200yds,, German ring target: 222 211 224 209 214—1080. 

 Borrowing from one of the shooters present a box (35) of patched 

 bullets (330), he shot two strings more of 10 shots each, the rifle 

 remaining uncleaned from the previous 50 shots. The patched bullets 

 were home-made, with a thin patch, which, by the way, are not 



adapted to the barrel of the rifle in question, for the fact that it is 

 large, having been recut and shot for a number of years. The totals 



of the two scores were 201 and 209, two shots being out of the 12in. 



bullseye, viz , two 16s. 

 The Hoboken Independent Schutzen Corps, Capt. Fred Erxmeyer,

 located on the brow of a hill overlooking Fisk's Lake, better grounds 

 for inanimate target shooting cannot be; the score faces directly east, 

 and the birds have the sky for a background. The Valley City Gun

 personal efforts, will endeavor to send all visiting shooters home with 

 the conviction that in this shoot they have attended one of the most,
