VERYTIIING is in readi
ness for the State Cham
pionship Pistol Tourna
ment which is to be held
here from March 20th to
25th, inclusive, and keen
interest is being manifested by members
of the local Club.
The temporary range at the Village
Hall is now ready for practice and many
of the members have been taking advan
tage of the opportunity offered to famil
iarize themselves with shooting by artifi
cial lights during the week past.
Detailed instructions for the tourna
ment were received during the week and
they call for 50 shots in strings of five
shots each, at the standard American tar
get at 20 yards. Any ammunition may
be used and pistols must have at least a
two pound trigger puli and a barrel not
to exceed ten inches in length. The score
must be completed within one hour after
firing the first shot, and all shooting
must be done in the presence of at least
one witness and the Secretary of the
local club, who has direct charge of the
tournament, or a representative appointed
by him.
Score cards will be issued in the order
of entries and the number of these cards
will insure precedence in the order of
shooting over those who have higher
numbers. All targets must be turned
over to the Secretary of the local club,
who will certify them and forward to the
officers of the United States Ee vol ver As
sociation. Two prizes will be offered by the Na
tional Association for the two highest
scores, a silver and bronze medal, and
competitors will also compete for na

offer two cups for the third and fourth
best scores made in the event.
Entries should be forwarded at once to
Herbert L. Jillson, secretary of the local
club, as the first tournament shooting
will take place Monday evening next at
the Village Hall from 8 :30 to 10 :30, and
each evening thereafter at the same hours
two contestants, if agreeable, shooting
