The Trentham lifle range is admittedly the most difficult shooting ground in New Zealand. Immediately hehind the targets is a low range of hills, broken and twisted by eccentric gullies and whimsical spurs, where virtuous winds are warped and become degenerate. It is the abode of the coquettish "fish tail," the bewildering " corkscrew," and other variants of the winds that blow. It is bad in a northerly, which is a gusty wind, and infinitely worse in a southerly, which breaks on *Jie hills behind the butts and resolves itself into conflicting gusts. When all is said and done, the man who dispenses with his wind-guage, uses his judgment, and "aims off the maHt," usually suffers less than he who prefers to trust to the various devices which have been invented for the circumvention of tho breezes.
