RIFLE SHOOTING.
PAEROA’S MINIATURE CLUB. ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL MEET. The newly formed Paeroa Defence Miniature Rifle Club held its second shoot in the local Drill Hall on Wednesday evening, and it proved as successful as the first, if not more so. Upwards of 30 members attended, and some good scores were registered. But for the unpropitious weather the attendance would undoubtedly have been larger. Many junior members joined up during the evening and shot with considerable success, part of which must be attributed to Captain H. Simmonds as instructor and coach. The top score for the evening was put up by A. A. Jenkinson with 98 out of the possible 100. Three others, L. Morris, W. A. Reid, and Roy Wells, each made 96. Following are the scores :—
A. A. Jenkinson 98, L. Morris 96, W. A. Reid 96, Roy Wells 96, M. Simmonds 94, R. W. Roberts 94, A. Simmonds 91, W. S. Garing 88, E. Mead 87, A. Keighley 85, D. Fraser 83, Captain H. Simmonds 78, E. Turton 76, P. Jaspers 75, Ivan Merlo 72, D. Currie 72, H. V. Cocks 57, E. Turton, junr., 56, A. Coxhead 50, L. Vernon 48, J. Jaspers 47, H. W. Firth 46, M. Charlesworth 27.
Another practice will be held next Wednesday evening, when the club hopes to have an additional new rifle in use. A special course of instruction will be given by Captain Simmonds next Wednesday night.
