In the outdoor championship matches of the U. S. 
R. A., Mr. C. E. Orr, of East Alton. HI., shooting on 
range of the Colonial Revolver Club, made the follow¬ 
ing unofficial scores: 
Match A . 90 86 90 87 82-435 
Match I? . 93 85 86 85 85-434 
Match C . 35 44 44 44 40—207 
Match C . 38 36 42 44 38—198 
Match C . 40 35 36 45 37—193 
Match D . 39 41 39 42 41—202 
Mr. Orr is a member of the Colonial Club and shot in 
the team race. His score of 217 is probably the best 
ever made at rapid fire. His last string of five shots 
counted a possible—five straight 10s. Time for this string 
was only 12 seconds. Colonial. 
Los Angeles Revolver Club. 
Los Angeles, Sept. 18.—Once more the annual out¬ 
door championship matches of the U. S. R. A. have 
come and gone. Also, as before, they have taken with 
them our fondest hopes and expectations of winning any 
national honors, or having our pictures printed in the 
sporting pages of our local papers, etc., all of which 
may happen to any unfortunate who accidentally or 
otherwise makes a first class score. 
An honor medal is given to any entrant making a 
score of 435 or better, out of a possible 500, with any 
target pistol within certain rules. Each of the three 
entries from the Los Angeles Revolver Club earned one 
of these medals, but that is probably all the honor they 
will get, as their scores will not buy them much when 
it comes to national honors. 
Mr. A. H. Isbell does all his shooting with a .38 caliber 
S. and W., 6-inch barrel and plain sights. He uses 
factory ammunition. Even with' this handicap, he 
drilled out 441 in match A, which is a good score with 
any revolver, under the circumstances. This proficiency 
ought to land him somewhere near the top of the heap. 
It is easy to make an average of 90 or better when 
practicing, but when the match targets are run up, it 
makes a man’s nerves tingle, so that he falls below his 
average as a rule. The bull having the large white 
rings and the paper being of different color, it fre¬ 
quently causes a man to readjust his sights, so that the 
first score is cut to pieces accordingly. All such cir¬ 
cumstances tend to make him lose confidence in him¬ 
self and start him to “guessing.” Few men are free 
from these conditions, and they generally carry home 
the bacon. Scores follow for U. S. R. A. matches: 
Match A: 
A H Isbell . 89 84 89 93 86—441 
W E Smith . 72 83 93 86 90-424 
Dr L M Packard . 80 84 83 84 85—416 
Match B : 
Dr L M Packard . 82 89 84 94 88—437 
R J Fraser . 86 88 83 89 89—435 
W E Smith . 83 S6 88 91 87—435 
In the regular monthly bullseye match, shot after 
above matches, some good scores appear. R. ,T. Fraser 
made 275, with twelve 10s; Dr. L. M. Packard, 271, with 
ten 10s; J. E. Holcomb, 259, with ten 10s.
