ON THE HAUTERE RANGE

SHOOTING AT 600 YARDS Last Saturday the Hautere Rifle Club fired two 10's at 600 yards. The conditions for shooting were fairly good, apart from a dull light and a misty shower early in the day. The conditions seemed to suit the young keen eye, as two of the youngest shots, D. Wallington and D. Waite, along with C. Scrom, figured in a thrilling shoot-oif for Mr. Joe Cooksley's trophy. After the usual compulsory sighter and three counting shots had been fired, these two lads were stili even with three bulls-eyes each, and it was. not- until a further shot was fired that D. Wallington niade it four in a row and P. Waite fmished with an inner. D. Wallington thus wins Mr. Cooksley's troPhy. The following are the individual scores, the maui being 46: D. Wallington 44 — 44 — 10 — 92, D. Waite 44 — 39 — 14 — 92, C. Strom 43—44—6— 92, C. Cobb 45— 46— scr.— 91, N. S. Monk 41 — 43 — 8 — 91, F. Freeman 46 — 44 — scr. — 90, R. L. Monk 42 — 44 — 4—90, F. H.
