Every elfort is being made to have shooting started in good time each night, and with this end in view a trophy has been donated for competition by those who are on the range not later than 7.15. It is hoped that this will assist in the desired object. Last week the handicap badge was won by D. G. Wyllie Three possibles were recorded off the rifle, J. Armstrong. J A Cowio, and D. G. Wyllie being successful.
