22 Caliber Indoor Rifle League. 
The fourth annual tournament of the .22 Caliber Indoor 
Rifle League of the United States, was held in Rochester, 
N. Y., Jan. 27 to Feb. 1, inclusive, under the auspices 
of the Columbia Rifle Club. 
The opening day had a specially noteworthy event, the 
making of a perfect center, in the bullseye event, by R. 
Cute, the tenowned marksman of Jeffersonville, N. Y., a 
feat which was considered impossible. The delicate instru¬ 
ment used in measuring the bullseye shots, detects the 
slightest variation from a true center, and registers the 
variation accordingly. This match was open to all; re-entries 
unlimited. Mr. Harry Harrison, of Rochester, also recorded 
some sensational shooting in the way of rapid fire, beat¬ 
ing his own record of 469 by scoring 489 in a minute. In 
this event the contestants used automatic rifles, each 
contestant doing his own loading. On the second day 
Mr. Harrison surpassed his previous records with the 
phenomenal number of 516. He fired S7 shots in one 
minute, of which 77 struck the target. The conditions 
were as follows: ,22cal. rifles, 75ft., any position with¬ 
out artificial rest, no restrictions as to sights and trigger 
pull; auxiliary loading devices permitted; time limit, 
one minute. Great as was Mr. Harrison’s rapid-fire 
record, it was surpassed on Friday by the performance 
of Capt. A. F. Laudensack, of New Haven, Conn. He 
raised the record to 569, and on a prior trial scored 549, 
which was high record at that time. He fired SO shots 
in the minute, 78 hitting the target. This, in turn, was 
surpassed by Mr. Harrison on Saturday by a total of 570. 
He fired 81 shots in one minute, all of which hit the 
target. 
On the second day, Mr. G. A. Morse scored a one 
degree shot on the bullseye target, which is also an 
extraordinary record, if it were not surpassed by the 
perfect shot made by Gute on the first day. 
In the continuous match, three, Messrs. L. P. Itlel, of 
imsburg, and Gute and Hubalek made perfect scores, 
300 on four targets. Each of these three also shared an 
honorary prize for the five best targets, four 75s and 
one 74. 
First place in the championship contest was won by 
Mr. A. Hubalek, of Brooklyn. He scored 2464 out of a 
possible 2500. Second place was tied for by Messrs. F. 
L. Ross, of Springfield, Mass., and R. Gute, of Jeffer¬ 
sonville, N. Y. 
Mr. (jute’s perfect score, zero, on the bullseye target, 
oo' equalled during the tournament, though Mr. G. 
A. Morse, of Rochester, was a close second with a target 
of one degree. In the honorary match, Mr. E. J. Kurtz 
was winner with a target of one degree. 
The special prize contest was won by C. H. McChesney, 
President of the Columbia Rifle Club with a total of 88. 
Hubalek and Ittel tied for second on 60. Gute and 
Morse tied in the skiddoo match for a music box, each 
scoring 225. 
The tournament in 1909 will be held under the auspices 
of the Iroquois Rifle Club, of Pittsburg.
