Wild Bill’s Mate in the November 
issue is not a tale of Western Fron¬ 
tier days, but a corking duck story 
from the pen of Frank Linwood Bai- 
ley. If you are a duck hunter, you 
will enjoy it—if you are not, you 
will enjoy it, too, because ivhile not 
outside of the realm of the possible, 
it is still fictional in character and 
holds in store for its readers a thrill 
that one does not look for in a tale 
of duck hunting.

REAL SPORT —SMALL 
BORE RIFLE SHOOTING 
(Continued from page 563) I 
order to appreciate the similarity be¬ 
tween these two courses it may be 
stated that the scores made by the small 
bore riflemen and the military marks¬ 
men over their respective distances are 
almost identical. 
As aheady stated, the decimal system 
target is used at all distances up to 
100 yards. The present style of target 
has ten concentric rings. On the 100 
yard target each ring is one inch apart. 
The bullseye includes the 9 and 10 rings. 
The 10 ring therefore is 2 inches in 
diameter and th'is makes the bullseye 
4 inches. In order to score the pos¬ 
sible, the shooter must place all ten 
shots in the 10 ring or 2-inch circle. 
This has all been figured out very 
closely, and while ammunition will 
make 2-inch groups from machine-rest 
at the factory, it is seldom that the 
possible is made in competition. 
The rifles used by small bore riflemen 
consist of the heavy type variety, and 
repeaters and other light rifles are al¬ 
most unknown on the rifle range. The 
rifles used at present are, in the order 
of their popularity, the Stevens, models 
404 and 414; the Winchester, model 52 
bolt action; the Savage bolt action; the 
B.S.A., model 12, which is the lever 
type Martini action, and last but not 
least, the U. S. rifle, model 1922, Spring- 
field. 
At all distances of 100 yards and 
under, the system of arranging the 
J targets is to use frames hung on two 
| posts. The posts are set about 8 feet 
apart, the frame being suspended from 
a nail driven in each post. Ten targets 
are usually placed on the 50 yard frame 
and five targets on the 100 yard frame. 
Ten shots are fired on each target. At 
-0° yards the targets are pasted on 
the regular military frame which is 
operated much after the fashion of an 
ordinary window-sash. 
At the short distances, when the 
shooter has completed his ten shots, the 
frame is brought back at the same
