“Why not ?” says Ike; “the best sports¬ 
men do it. Hurry up, Newt,—he’s liable to 
jump any minute!” 
Well, overcoming my scruples just to 
please Ike I took a fine bead and blazed 
away, but the rabbit didn’t move! “Too 
high,” says Ike; “try again!” My second 
shot tore up the ground in front of the 
log. “Too low,” says Ike; “once more, 
Newt—you’ll get him the third time!” 
As I was pushing a shell into the cham¬ 
ber Ike, behind, me sounded as if he was 
chokin’ to death and I turned quickly. 
There he was rolling on the ground in a 
paroxysm of laughter! 
Then I tumbled. I knew I had been 
banging away at a dead rabbit which Ike 
had shot and propped up behind the log! 
Ike walked ahead and picked up the rabbit 
whose head and ears were riddled. 
“Well, Newt, you hit ’im all right,” 
says Ike. 
“Yeh,” says I grinnin’, “I generally hit 
wot I shoot at.” 
Then we jogged along toward one of 
Aunt Mary’s swell suppers. 
“DIGGING IN” 
(continued from page 35 ) 
position of the hole on target No. 2. The 
right hand man then fires on No. 2 and 
watches for the shot to be disked on target 
No. 1. Then the left-hand man fires his 
second shot, and so on until each man has 
completed his string of ten shots, when 
the marker puts up fresh targets. 
The targets themselves are held in place 
by four wire nails driven through the frame 
from the rear side, so as to protrude about 
an inch. This gives four iron points suffi¬ 
ciently sharp to pierce the paper, yet not 
sharp enough to hurt the fingers when the 
targets are being put up, and holds the target 
securely in position. Of all the various 
methods of securing small targets, this is 
unquestionably the simplest and most satis¬ 
factory that can be employed. 
The illustrations show the standard 
N.R.A. hundred-yard, small bore target 
designed by my old friend, A 1 Blanco, for 
.22 caliber rifles. The “scoring bull,” count¬ 
ing “10,” is two inches in diameter; the 
black “sighting bull” is six inches in di¬ 
ameter, and the target contains one-inch 
graduations down to “5.” This makes an 
excellent target for shooting at ranges vary¬ 
ing from 50 to 125 yards, as it gives “center 
shots” their true value. 
The general design of this butt is not 
original, being merely a simplified form of 
the method used by our Navy when mak¬ 
ing temporary target pits for small arms 
practice, and the chief virtue of the design 
lies in the fact that the marker can remain 
seated and operate the carrier with a single 
light sweep of the hand, all of which adds 
greatly to the comfort and convenience of 
the man in the pit and robs that unpopular 
job of many of its unpleasant features. 
As to the possibility of stray bullets cutting 
the wire or breaking the supports, it simply 
doesn’t happen. The outfit will last a sea¬ 
son and may be perfected and improved 
upon as time and opportunity permit. And 
it was constructed as necessity demanded 
sans finances, with no other tools than two 
picks, two shovels, a mattock and a hatchet, 
backed by American “grit.”
