WORKMANSHIP.
A new target, 6x4 feet, has been
placed at Kakaako butts for the Sharp
shooters and the Military, this in the
shape of the upper half of' a man in
position on the ground, the whole fig
ure taking two feet. The target as
used by the United States Army has
the figure of the man at the bottom
but on account of the difference in faci
lities here, Sergeant Elvin, who has
charge of the butts, was forced to place
the figure in the middle of the target,
which, being six feet high, allows two
feet above and two below. On the tar
get as used by the United States Army,
any shot striking the figure, counts 5.
the spaces of either side, 4, the two-
foot snace in the middle, 3 and the last
at the top, 2 points. The change made
by Mr. Elvin gives the fiugre, o; the
snaces to either side, 4; the two-foot
snace below. 3 and the two-foot space
above 2 noints. The target with the
fieure at the lower part was found
imnracticable on account of the fact
that the frame surrounding it was shot
to pieces as well as the sliding appar
tus.
The Sharpshooters and Military men
are very much pleased with the new
target. Of course there is much more
chance for scoring 5's but then, to have
anvthine resembling a figure to shoot
at, lends an additional incentive, ine
Sharpshooters have already made sev
eral 50's for the target has been up
since Saturday. Lieutenant Ross oi:
Company G succeeded in making 49.
Here is a part of what a recent num
ber of Harper's Weekly has to say
about the new target:
"in the SDring of the present year,
as the result of the recommendations
of the Army Small-Arms Board, a ra
dical change was made by the adopt
ion of the silhouette target. The the
ory of this target is that the soldier
should be trained to shoot at a mark
such as the enemy would present. The
bull's eye, or, as it is now called, the
"figure," in the 200-yard target, is
therefore the silhouette in black, on a
white ground, of a soldier lying down,
"head on." In the 500-yard target, the
figure is kneeling; in the 800-yard
target, the figure is standing; and the
100-yard figure is that of a soldier on
horseback. The tendency of all troops
being to shoot high, an endeavor is
made in the new target to overcome
this tendency by placing the figure at
the bottom instead of in the centre.
"The divisions regulating the value
of shots are entirely different, and the
area of the figure is much greater than
in the old bull's-eye.
"The effect on the scores of this
greater area in the central objective is
mnst armarent at 200 yards. At this
range the figure is compact and com
paratively regular in shape, ana tne
element of chance enters less than in
the other targets, in which it is evi
rlnt that a shot either close to the
arm-pit in the 500-yard or high up be
tween the legs in the SOO-yaru, is clos
er to the centre and unquestionably
better than one which cnance might
Indze in the elbow, or in the foot of
the figure, but which counts for more.
It is at 200 yards, therefore, that ac
curate holding is surest of counting."
