RIFLE SHOOTING

OPENING TOURNAMENT The Christchurch Miniature Rifle Asso- . ciation opened its 1952 season on Satur- : day, with an entry of 50 teams. Scoring was not high, as most competing teams I have had little practice with the single arm sling, which has been made com- i pulsory. Possibles were scored by R. East (Syd- ] enham), E. Genn (M.E.D.), R. Hartigan, i J. Mclntosh (New Brighton), S. Loader, ] L. Gordon (Christchurch W.M.C.), E. Fan- i ning (Railway), D. Froude, C. Tregonning, I C. Ellis, C. R. Walker (Cashmere). G.
