ed over to the ordnance officer for is
sue ot the teams at firing points as
needed during the progress of the
match. Each team will be issued the
ammunition brought by it This en
ables the team to order their ammuni
tion from the government for the
spring practice and the match at the
same time, thus providing that the
same ammunition will be shot in the
match as in practice and preventing
any teams from using superior am
munition. One reason for the change
was that it is scarcely likely that pri
vate manufacturers will be able to
supply ammunition for the 1903 rifles
in time for spring practice.
The order of fire has .been again
changed, the skirmish run, which was
first on the program last year, has
been placed between the 800 yard and
the 1,000 yard stages. The order of
fire will be 200-slow, 200-rapid, 600
slow, 800-sfow, one skirmish run and
1 ,000-yards slow fire Under the rules
one-third of the members, of a prize
winning team are disqualified for the
next three competitions, and these
four men must be those who have par
ticipated in the greatest number of
natural watches. This rule has
been qualified so that a person el
iminated under it and who has been
out three years and thus became el
igible again,! shall be considered as
a new member. This means should
the team again be a winning team
his participation in former national
contests will not count against him.
For the benefit of weaker States the
rule requiring 75 per cent of milit
ary duty for members of the team is
modified to permit States not here
tofore competing to send teams whose
members shall have. 75 per cent of
military duty for the preceding six
months instead of one year, to their
credit The Board has also increased
the number of medals for the Individ
ual Match and will give twelve medals
each of gold silver and bronze, so
that 36 competitors will receive med-
als instead of 12 as heretofore. The
cash prizes remain the same. ! .
In the Pistol Match, Target A 1 will
be used for slow, timed and rapid
fire At 200 yards it is more than pro
bable Target A will be used instead of
Target F. A most important cha
nge has been made in the matters of
skirmish targets. The silhouettes!,
will be placed on a B target so that
the base of the figures shall be one
foot above the crest of the bank when
the target is in place. The skirmish
target at Camp Perry last year were
considered ideal bufas comparatively
few ranges admit of such targets and
all can be equipped with silhouettes
on the B targets, the change was made
for the benefit of all.
