Camp Perry's
Tournament
For Marksmen
MARKSMEN the country over
are now turning their atten
tion tv the big contests of
the year, the national rifle
and revolver matches at Camp Perry.
Ohio. Aug. H to 25. inclusive, which
promise to be the most Interesting ever
held, many new features having been
added and the competitors being great
er in number than ever before. These
tournaments art* held annually at
Camp Ferry or at some poiut where
the range is us large and well
equipped, the object being to encour
age good marksmanship. All the
money the nation puts into forts, mili
tary equipment and naval armament
is entirely thrown away unless the
men behind the cuns know how to
shoot, and the military authorities,
both state and federal, are devoting
ever increasing attention to this mat
ter.
These matches were established by
congress, which provided the trophy,
and are shot under the auspices of the
national board for promotion of rifle
practice and under the direction of the
war department. They draw together
the 1.000 best marksmen in the United
States: tbey require the services of
1,000 regular troops and 100 army offi
cers: they set the high water mark in
military rifle shooting Therefore they
are of considerable importance to the
country, and some facts In regard to
them will be of interest even to the
citizens who never expect to shoot.
This is the fourth year that Camp
Perry has been selected for the nation-
MARKSMEN COMPETING AT CAMP PEKRT
al shoot, where there are "236 rifle and
revolver targets, all arranged to the
north so that they can be shot upon
from a common tiring line. The war
department auri the state of Ohio fur
nish tents, cots, mattresses, tables,
chairs and other camp furniture free
to all competitors, while subsistence
may be obtained from the various
messes or at the large mess hall at
reasonable rates. The spot is delight
fully located aud has over a mile of
the finest bathing beach in the world.
A new and interesting feature of this
meet will be the revolver matches for
the police of the country. The na
tional police team match will be shot
for the first time on Aug. 11. Each
team Is to consist of five police offi
cers from the force of a single city,
and no officers may shoot on more
than one team. They must have been
in the same police force for at least
three months prior to the date of the
match and will wear the authorized
uniform of their force. At fifteen
yards each man will tire two scores
of five shots each, rapid tire, eight
seconds to each score. At twenty-five
yards each man will fire two strings
of five shots each, timed tire, fifteen
seconds to each score, and at fifty
yards each man will fire five shots,
slow tire, twenty seconds for each
