On Thursday a team of 12 men of the Waimate Rifles, firing for the South Canterbury Battalion Staff Shield, put on the very high score of 1160, individual scores ranging from 102 to 90. The local men claim the score to be a record for the Dominion. Whether or not a record, it is sufficiently high to win the shield, the other scores being: Timaru Port Guards 1057, Timaru Rifles 1045, Timaru City Rifles 1022.
