SHOOTING COMPETITIONS
REGIMENTAL DISTRICT MEETING It is expected that when entries for the No. 1 Regimental District rifle meeting close, the total number of competitors will equal that of last year, when over 600 cadets and territorials took part. The rifle competition will be fired at the Penrose range on November 33 and 24, while the machine-gun matches will be decided on the previous Saturday, November 17. The meeting will be the first since the No. 1 District was extended to take in the No. 3 axea, North Auckland. The No. 1 District formerly extended from Otahuhu and Penrose to Avondale and New Lynn, but it now covers the whole of the northern peninsula to North Cape. In order that competitors in northern districts will not have to travel too far, a subsidiary meeting at Whangarei will be held on the same date, and £25 has been allocated from the funds to provide prize-money and medals. Every Saturday competitors who desire to practise are allowed the use of the Penrose range, where rifles and ammunition are supplied by two staff officers who are available tQ give instruction and advice.
