Feb. 22.— Greenville, N. J. — American record 100-shot match. 
March 1-9. — New York. — Zettler annual gallery tournament. 
Providence Revolvef Club* 
PROViDENCB-j R. I. — The regular weekly practice shoot was well 
attended Thursday evening, and proved of more than usual in- 
terest. 
Sterry K. Luther apparently caught the knack of shooting on 
the indoor range, and shot in his regular form, scoring well nito 
the 240s. 
Arno Argus struck an 80 gait and held his officer's model for a 
60-shot string of 405, which is considered excellent work for our 
club. 
Albert B. Coulters stirprised the members by uncasing a Krag 
rifle, and spent the evening in trying some short range loads for 
that arm, and apparently he will make it give a good account of 
itself In the near future. 
C L. Beach, whose little .22 has been difficult to hold, o:; ac- 
count of its lightness, brought in his .32-40 target Winchester 
with some trial short-range loads, and made one pretty group of 
ten shots, which, had his elevation been a point higher, would 
have netted him 240 or better, German ring count. 
Major Eddy scored an 82 with his military, and felt satisfied 
with the load he has worked out for that regulation arm. A 5- 
point handicap would have made that figure look larger, but 
the Major was satisfied with the net result. 
Fred Collins, a local crack, was a visitor at the range, and it is 
probable he will appear next week with his .25-25, for which le 
has a load that shoots a good string at 25yds. 
Down at Bristol the rifle and hand arm shooters are getting 
busy, it is rumored, and it is possible there may be a delegation 
from that vicinity added to the club rolls at no distant day. 
Bristol has some fine shots, and could add materially to the 
organization by joining hands under the plan followed by tl:e 
Portsmouth men. They want to add a trapshooting division, as do 
also the shooters of Saylesville, and it rather looks as if Rhode 
Island air will be pretty well smoked this season. 
That's the stuft', boys. Keep it going, and Little Rhody v/iW 
wake up. Instead of the plain, simple little revolver club of 
half a dozen members, there may be something besides plans in a 
State Association. What do you say, shooters? 
There's a preposition. 
In the meantime the club enjoys its limited once-a-week shoots, 
and the regulars are pushing the local interests.

This is the first rifle match which has been shot on the Ports- 
mouth range in some time, and shows that the shooters are pick- 
ing up the former interest, and that this season will see the range 
busy. 
Little Rhody has come good shots, and it is hoped that eventu- 
ally they will all join in making the only civilian organization in 
the State a strong one, 80 that target shooting will again be 
biought to the front. 
Since the organization of the Revolver Club, many rifle shooters 
have taken hold; the sporting goods dealers report an increased 
sale and interest in small bore rifles and target revolvers and 
pistols, and it is apparent that there are shooters who enjoy the 
sport, but carry on their practice in private. The Revolver Club 
has nearly outgrown its original plan, and there is no reason why, 
if all the interested target shooters would join hands, we could 
not have a State Rifle Association. 
The Portsmouth range is available for members in that vicin- 
ity; the proposed club range at Cranston will take care of the 
local shooters; one of the expert members has a private 100yd. 
range at Thornton, and if a combination was efifected there is no 
doubt arrangements could be made with the militia officials for the 
use occasionally of the State range for practice with the Govern- 
ment Krag, imder the Government idea. 
All this is possible if the shooters will back up the efforts of the 
club pushers by membership, which is but a small contribution to 
shooting interests. 
Why not add Rhode Island to the National? This is the ques- 
tion asked of any shooter who reads our weekly reports, but keeps 
in the shade. 
If you like to shoot and want a place to shoot on a standard 
basis, why not come in with us? Don't be backward because you 
fear you will not make top-notch scores. You can do your prac- 
ticing better on a club range than elsewhere; you will progress 
better a little friendly competition than a lone shoot; you will 
meet men who will give you many practical pointers. 
What we ought to have is a State Rifle Association, under the 
National Association plan, with the proposed Government encour- 
agement, then for winter practice we need a club range indoors, 
where we will not be confined to one night a week, but where a 
man can shoot at any time the mood strikes him. We all agree 
this is needed, even the unknown shooters. And it is simply up 
to each one interested to give the plan a lift by coming forward 
and contributing a dollar or two for a good cause.
