A splendid example or what mlniaturo shootIng does for the htj; rifle was exemplified last Saturday week at Trentham. The N.K.A. executive were desirous of trying out some special ammunition, and twenty crack shots from clubs in Wellington wore clioscn to flre over three ranges—2oo, 300, ana 500 yards. Tho shooting was really excellent considering it is the off-season, but it is worthy of special mention that the seven Highest scores were put on by miniature men. The possible for the three ranges was 105, and the following Mo the scores of the highest seven:—Harris 104, Goodall 10S, Smart 102, Goldfinch 102. Caldwell 101, Baase 100, Chine 100. All arc miniature men who are shooting well in interclub matches. It Is truly a wonderful performance, and proves that miniature- is excellent training for the big rifle. A further shoot is to take place over three moro ranges; it will take the form of a match ten aside.
