SHOOTING AT TAIHAPE
ANNUAL QUADRANGULAR SHOOT. HIGH STANDARD REACHED. (Own Correspondent.) TAIHAPE, April 23. The annual shooting match between the Returned Soldiers’ Association. Frontiersmen, Taihape Troop M.M.R. and Taihape Platoon W.W.C.R., was held over the weekend at the Utiku range. The standard of shooting was higher than last year and had weather conditions been satisfactory, an exceptionally high standard would no doubt have been reached. Considering that the match was fired in pouring rain the scores of the R.S.A. and Frontiersmen are very good as many have not fired since last year. In spite of the weather a very enjoyable time was had by all. Scores: — R.S.A.— Mr. Newport 44, Mr. W. White 44. Mr. H. Holmes 51, Mr. Macfarlane 48, Mr. Niven 57, Mr. J. Bosomworth 60; total, 304.
