Zettlef Rifle Clob. 
The first outdoor shoot for the season held by this club oc- 
curred May 13, on the ranges in Union Hill, N. J. The attend- 
ance was small, because of the weather conditions, the day being 
dark and cloudy toward its close. Low scores were due mostly 
to the thick haze, which rendered the targets indistinct. Louis 
P. Hansen was high man. The conditions were 50 shots per man 
at 200yds., offhand, on the %in. ring target. The results follow:

Providence Revolver Club. 
May 13.— Three of our members who have had an opportunity 
to commence 50yd. outdoor practice are apparently^ making the 
most of their advantage. W. H. Freeman has to his credit this 
week a 50-shot score of 452, and William Almy commenced a 
1000-shot task with his .22 pistol, scoring an average of 90 per 
cent, to date. The combination of shooter and ammunition seems 
well matched for fine work. Mr. Almy is also shooting his .38 
officer's model in the 90 class. We think it a great gun in this 
vicinity. 
Frank Corey's 86, "with a four in it," was a hard luck string, 
but a particularly pretty group of tens made the target of more 
than ordinary interest. The big .44 is going to show up some 
nineties yet. 
We are still doing a little 20yd. and 25yd. indoor work, and on 
Saturday evening Mr. Argus succeeded in getting a couple of 
86's with his .38, which we consider good work for our indoor 
range. Mr. Jefferds, one of our new members secured a 220 with 
^jis repeating rifle. 
The following scores were recorded for week ending May 13:
