Wath Miniature Range Rifle Club v. Denaby Rifle Club

This competition took place on Saturday between teams representative of the above, at Denaby, and was unexpected, resulted in a victory for the Denaby team. Taking into consideration, however, that a number of the Wath members had never previously fired on the out-door range, and at the 50 yards’ distance, the members of the Wath team have no cause to be disappointed with the result, but with a little more practice and experience in firing on the open range, an improvement on the following scores made by each member may confidently be anticipated.
