HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T.. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price, $1.0G 
Mr. Haminond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who if 
particularly suc-essful in that most difficult branch o( 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this original 
manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it ori^nal 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the form? 
of practice followed were his own. This then may be 
termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it wa<^ 
successful in his own experience, being here set forth 
simply and intelligently, it will prove not less effective 
with othero.

Newark Rifle and Revolver Association. 
Montclair, N. J., Feb. 13.—On Lincoln’s Birthday, the 
Newark Rifle and Revolver Association held the first 
annual shoot of the Creedmoor record match at Kreuger’s 
Greisenheim range, Clinton Place, Newark, N. J. This 
match calls for 100 shots, with military rifles, on Creed¬ 
moor target, at 200yds., and the prize given is a very 
appropriate gold and bronze medal, to be shot for an¬ 
nually, the winner’s name, score and the year to be placed 
on a bar suspended underneath. One hundred shots 
with a military rifle calls forth the best skill in any 
shooter, and to make ah average of 45 in a 10-shot string 
shows a very high order of shooting, but out of a field 
of fourteen shooters, two finished with a higher average— 
Lieut.-Col. W. A. Tewes, New Jersey, won the medal 
with a total of 466, seconded by W. H. French, presi¬ 
dent of the Newark R. and R. Association, with 451. 
Col. Tewes’ highest 10-shot total was 49; Mr. French’s 47. 
At the end of the first 50 shots the scores stood: Tewes, 
235; French, 227; O’Hare, 220; Snyder, 217; Higgins, 217; 
Snellen, 216; Smith, 216; Minervini, 211. Then the strain 
began to tell on some of the riflemen, and the order of 
their standing changed somewhat. 
After the last shot was fired, the club tendered a 
chicken supper to all those who Mrticipated. The medal 
was presented to Col. Tewes by President French with a 
neat little speech complimenting him on the high order 
of his shooting, to which Col. Tewes, who, by the way, 
is a past-master in the art of speaking, ably responded. 
Mr. William Hayes, who was a guest of the club, made 
a few remarks on “the beginning of a new match and 
the opening of a new range.” Owing to an important 
engagement Lieut. W. A. Stopford, of the 23d New York, 
was unable to enter the match. The scores:

The PinehursI Pistol Club. 
From the Pinehurst Outlook, we take the following: 
At a meeting held at the Carolina, Thursday evening, 
the Pinehurst Pistol Club organized for the season with 
the choice of the following committee: President, J. 
Cushing Todd; Secretary, Dr. C. Kingsley Field; Treas¬ 
urer, Mrs. H. \'. Wurdeman- Range Officer, S. Bruce 
Elwell; Mrs. D. K. Stukie, Samuel Edelman and Her¬ 
bert L. Jillson. 
It was voted to hold handicap shoots every Friday 
afternoon beginning at 2:30 P. M., until further notice, 
these events to be open to all. The entrance fee will be 
50 cents and the amount thus secured will be used for the 
purchase of trophies by the committee. One cup will be 
offered weekly for the best net score, and two for the 
two best net scores, when the field is sufficiently large 
to warrant it. During the first few shoots a few target 
medals will be awarded for the best gross scores. All 
events will be 50 shots at 25yds., 10 shots at 5 different 
targets, which will be issued by the committee and must 
be signed by the range officer to become “tournament 
targets.” 
All shoots will be in charge of the range officer and 
his rulings and orders must be obeyed. Any protests 
must be referred to the committee in writing to re¬ 
ceive consideration. Any carelessness will result in dis¬ 
qualification. Absolute quiet will be insisted on during 
tournaments. Contestants, will not be allowed to ex¬ 
amine their targets on the butts, but must wait until they 
are all brought back by the range officer. All entrances 
must be sent to some member of the committee on or 
before Thursday at 9 o’clock P. M., each week. 
Handicaps for the first shoot of the series which is in 
progress as the Outing goes to press, are as follows: 
Edelman 0, Mrs. Wurdeman 25, Rigby 50, Redfield 50, 
Elwell 50. Dr. Field 50, Mrs. Stuck! 50, Miss Pulsifer 100, 
Grandin 100, Palmer 100, Mrs. Grandin 200, Mrs. Tarking- 
ton 200. Mrs. Briggs 200. 
Additional entries may shoot from scratch, their targets 
to be used as a handicap basis for ne.xt shoot.
