The entries for each of three team competitions now in progress have proved very satisfactory, in the case of the Browne-Martin and Burroughes and Watts considerably exceeding those of last year, whilst those for the B.S.A. Competition for Volunteer Regiments are a very few less. In this case it is possible that'the alteration in'the condi tions in regard to sights may have had some effect upon the entry; also from opinions expressed amongst a num ber of the Volunteer Corps, the amount of work that the men are being called upon to devote to the Lewis .Machine Gun practices has interfered with the entries of many of the teams who competed last year. * * - j f I.v the Burroughes and Watts Competition the present h o l d e r s o f t h e Challenge Cup— G r i m s b y C e n t r a l R i f l e C l u b — h a v e made a most excel lent start, their score of 783 in the preliminary round b e i n g b y f a r t h e highest put up by a n y c l u b i n t h i s round. * * * The Cadet Winter Competition will be run again this year in accordance with the particulars an nounced on another page of this issue.

T H E R I F L E M A N . 65 CADET NOTES. .1 FL'iiTiiEU privilege has now been conferred by the Army Council upon tho.se lads who have served in the ranks of duly recognised Cadet Corps or units throughout the countrt'. We have mentioned in previous issues that authority has been given for such lads to secure admis sion into the R..'\.F. as pilots or observers. The new order, issued a few weeks ago, extends this privilege to the Royal .Artillery, Royal Engineers and the Machine Citm Corps, the three specialist units of the Regular Forces, which offer splendid opixjrtunities for training and advancement, and will prove immensely popular among the members of Cadet Corps. * * * The order provides that N.C.O.s and privates of those units of tiie Cadet force which are trained in specialist duties will, in future, on being called for military service, be considered for posting to those arms for which they h a v e b e e n t r a i n e d a s C a d e t s . T h i s m e a n s i n e f f e c t t h a t boys who have served in the Royal Engineer Cadets or in those units attached to the Artillery or having machine gun sections, will have the privilege of being sent to the same arm of the Regular Forces when they are called up, instead of being attached to the ordinary infantry battalions. This should have the effect of stimulating recruiting for these specialist corps, of which there are several of the Royal Engineers and the Machine Gun Corps in London, and others attached to the Royal .Artillery in various parts of the country. * * * Ix connection with these new arrangements for passing- lads who have been members of specialist Cadet Corps into the appropriate arm of the Regular Forces, when they join up, instructions have been issued with a view to encouraging the formation of such Cadet units, and laving down the regulations for their training, etc. These deal with the Engineer Corps, for whom a com plete series of instructions in training in various parts of the work is given, and also with the sptecial Engineer .section dealing with military electric lighting, eiigine driving, etc. A further document deals with the training which should be laid down for Machine Gun Corps in cases where Cadet units are attached to Infantry Volun teer or other battalions which are capable of providing opportunities for such training. All this specialisation tends to make the work in the Cadets much„more varied and interesting and less monotonous than if they are kept entirely at infantry drill, and on this ground it should be welcomed by all those interested in the extension and growth of the Cadet movement. * * * We find that an error occurred in the last paragraph of the Notes in last month's issue, for which we express our regret to the school concerned. It should have been stated that the Lucas Tooth Competition for Hampshire was won by the Taunton School, Southampton, and not that the Taunton School won the competition for Somer- .set. The good news was received whilst the boys were in camp at Marlborough; it is al.so interesting to note that the school contingent carried off the first prize, a handsome cup presented by Major Brine, in the Inter- Shooting Competition at camp. .At a meeting of the Devonshire Territorial Force .Associa tion on September 25th, under the presidency of the Earl Fortescue, it was decided that steps should be taken immediately to develop the Cadet movement in the County of Devonshire. For this purpose it was determined to appoint County Cadet Staff Officers to assist the Colonel Commandant in raising new units and sui>ervising generally those already in existence. Official recognition was also granted to the new Cadet unit to be affiliated to the and A'olunteer Battalion of the Devonshire Regi ment in Plymouth. It is very satisfactory to learn that the movement is spreading and making such good pro gress, not only in the industrial parts of the country like Northumberland and Yorkshire, but also in the more r u r a l a r e a s s u c h a s D e v o n s h i r e . * * * Steps are being taken also to raise Cadet units in Shef fi e l d t o b e a f fi l i a t e d t o t h e A ' o l u n t e e r B a t t a l i o n s o f t h e Yorkshire Regiment. In connection with this movement the Lord Mavor of Sheffield has issued an appeal for funds for the equipment of the new battalion. It is expected that at first about 500 Cadets between the ages of 14 and 17 will need to be pro\ ided for, and for this purpose it is necessary to raise not less than ;£,2,ooo. The Lord Alayor's appeal is supported by Lord AVarn- cliffe, the Chairman of the Organisation Committee of the Territorial Association, Brigadier-General Alends, and Other influential officers, and we hope it will meet with a prompt and satisfactory response. * - H - - H - The annual inspection of the Northumberland Cadets took place on Saturday, September 21st, in the grounds of the Newcastle Royal Grammar School. General Sir Malcolm Grover, K.C.B., was the inspecting officer, and was accompanied by the local officials of the Territorial F o r c e A s s o c i a t i o n , A M l u n t e e r F o r c e , e t c . . A b o u t 1 , 2 0 0 boys were on parade, more than 500 of them being mem bers of the recently formed Newcastle Cadet Force, the remainder being made up of members of Boys' Brigade, Church Lads' Brigade, and various units of Cadet Corps attached to the schools in the district. The parade was a g r e a t s u c c e s s , a n d G e n e r a l G r o v e r w a s v e r y m u c h pleased with the smart appearance and the good display offered by the large number of lads on parade. * * * An important meeting for the purpose of forwarding the Cadet movement in the Kcighley district of A^orkshire was addressed by Brigadier-General Mends, the Secretary of the West Riding Yorkshire Territorial Force Associa tion, recently. In the course of his address General Mends laid down a very excellent description of the objects of the Cadet movement. He said its primary object was not a military one, but it was to develop the moral, mental and physical qualities of the youth of the nation, and in that way to lay the foundation of good citizenship. . . . Their aim was to make a good citizen of every boy and nothing more. The matter can hardly be expressed in briefer and more accurate terms, and we commend General Mends' ob.servation to the notice of all connected with the Cadet mo\-ement.

HE great desideratum of all riflemen is extreme accuracy, whether they fire over long ranges at our national rifle meetings or have no other outlet for their enthusiasm than to obtain cartons on a 15-yard indoor miniature rifle range. In the path of progress to-day are many obstacles; the keen sportsman has a very limited choice, as just his particular pattern rifle or particular ammunition may be unobtainable. Shooting IS unlike most sports. Equipment is of greater importance to success than it is in ordinary games. In football, for instance, the ball counts for little, the play everything, but in rifle shooting almost as much depends upon the rifle and ammunition as upon the rifleman. .Almost—I use the word tentatively—all of us are wont to attribute our successes and our failures to the rifle or the particular brand of ammunition we have been in the habit of using, and while admitting that the equipment, together with confidence in it, assists in a great measure towards our goal, it must not be forgotten that while it IS impossible for the best man to obtain excellent results when employing indifferent weapons, it is equally true that inferior shots will never get consistently good results e\ en if they provide themselves with superior weapons. Is technical knowledge of any advantage to the rifleman shooting over miniature rifle ranges? That is the point I have raised in these series of articles. By technical know'ledge is meant a fully comprehended acquaintance with the weapon, its uses, and the means bv \\ hich the end is attained, or intended to be attained. Briefly, whether or not it is worth while to study simple ballistics, rifle mechanism, and ammunition. Many con tend that it is superfluous, and that it should suffice if the rifleman can see, hold, and shoot through. Others advocate that he should know the gun and ammunition and their possibilities. Some even recommend a study of competition conditions and regulations rather than interesting oneself with the varieties of guns, projectiles, and methods of shooting. Expert marksmen of to-day and even of the past decade have been men thoroughl}' acquainted with the rifle and its possibilities, and thev seem at least in part to have been expert in shooting be'cause of the knowledge they possessed. Exceptions merely prove the rule to hold gcwd generally. We have now a large number of highly intelligent men in the .Army, many of whom have qualified as sharpshooters or snipers, but the results of their work at close range are inferior to those which were expected of "fully-trained men." Why? These soldiers do not yet know- their rifles thoroughly. If the average British sniper knew exactly what he was doing., w'hy he was holding and letting off in one particular way, his accuracy would be more consistent. .At present it is a l l d e d u c t i o n f r o m i n s u f fi c i e n t i n f o r m a t i o n . H e h a s accepted some dictum from an individual expert who had a procedure which suited himself, so the would-be sharp shooter assumed that that procedure must be adopted in all cases, notwithstanding that the instruction was im parted in an environment totally different from that in which he was to be employed. W e m u s t c e r t a i n l y a d m i t w i t h o u t r e s e r v e t h a t k n o w ledge is a help and not a hindrance. Surely it is estab lished that the machine, especially an instrument of precision like a gun, will give best results when used by a man who thoroughly understands its capabilities, and not \yhen merely actuated mechanically by an individual functioning as a machine. The one will get better results from an inferior weapon than the other will obtain from any weapon. One endeavours to make his rifle suit him, the other tries to adapt himself and circumstances to the weapon. The former rarely attains anything approaching perfection, the latter soon arrives at his limit. Mediocrity of those belonging to the first class is far beyond the possibilities of any of the other class. It must not be assumed that the foregoing remarks apply exclusively to the riflemen who chase the elusive possible at distant ranges, because the devotee to the small-bore is equally affected by the factors which produce rifle accuracy. In the previous chapter we dealt with the various types of .aain. R.F. ammunition, and I think we were all convinced that the long rifle is the most utilitarian cartridge for us; its accuracy is remarkably good, taking into consideration its moderate cost even to-day, when th6 demand for it by far exceeds the quan-, tity available for supply. But so much depends upon the rifle barrel—its length and its condition. Now a rifle is said- to be a weapon of precision which belongs to the gun group. The interior of its barrel is grooved for the purpose of imparting a spin to the bullet, not to give it greater velocity, but to keep it travelling point first, which enables it to maintain an accurate flight throughout the whole of the range. It is on account of these particular grooves that the rifle is so named; and they vary both in shape and number in various makes of weapons. To obtain a successful spin of a bullet upon its long axis it is not only necessary that the grooves should have some kind of a twist. The number of turns which the rifling takes in the whole length of the barrel, the shape and depth of the grooves have all been the subject of careful study and calculation by keen and experienced scientists. Rifling is said to be progressive when the grooves are cut deeper at the breech than at the muzzle. Again, it is often increased, i.e., takes a turn in a shorter space at the muzzle than it does at the breech, and it may be right-handed or left-handed. There are other variations; for example, the Metford barrel, from which the .azin. calibre aiming tube was adapted, is known as being segmentally grooved, while the grooves in the British service rifle, from which the present issue of the Government pattern .22111. weapon has been adapted, are concentric, the former, by the way, having seven grooves and the latter five in the barrel. Although it is often assumed that all good weapons are equal in accuracy, experts will not confirm it. Ap parently a well-made rifle ought to be as accurate as any other of the same species, but evidently it is not so. Some time back the point was raised regarding the accuracy of .22in. calibre rifles, and a well-known authority stated " there is no substantial difference in the shooting quali ties of the different .22in. long rifle calibre rifles of standard makes. With a well-made barrel the power or WWW.RIFLEMAN.ORG.UKOCTOBKR, 1918. 69 accuracy of the cartridge is dependent wholly upon the length of barrel." A retailer or agent who specialises in target shooting rifles of a certain calibre and of a particular make, and who receives his supplies from a certain factory, makes a point of accepting only those that have a standard of a c c u r a c y o f t a r g e t w o r k , r e t u r n i n g t h e d i s c a r d e d weapons. Now if such be the case with one make of rifle, does it not follow that there will be greater varia tions where supplies are taken from different manufac t u r e r s ? I n p r e - w a r d a y s a w e l l - k n o w n l i n n i s s u e d a model which enjoyed a wide range of popularity in the United Kingdom. Each issue was guaranteed perfec tion, yet I have witnessed some very indifferent shooting by experts — who were accustomed to that particular character of rifle—when putting a new weapon through a test shoot. However, its percentage of failures was e x c e e d i n g l y s m a l l , h e n c e t h e " m o d e l ' s " p o p u l a r i t y ; moreover, the firm has a reputation, so the weapon was replaced without loss of time. R e g a r d i n g o t h e r f a c t o r s b e y o n d a m m u n i t i o n a n d length of barrel, accuracy also depends upon the material from which the barrels are made, while differences in shooting are often noticeable if the cone connecting the cartridge chamber and the rifled portion of the barrel has a sharp angle—or short lead—or a less acute angle— or long lead—and as the major portion of our .22 rifles have barrels over 50 calibres in length, very few fail through lack of capacity to develop all the power there is in the long rifle cartridge. A correctly-tooled .22in. calibre rifle will be found to have all the grooves of the same width and depth throughout the length of the barrel. This is just as important as the test by barrel gauge, and is usually detected in the performance of the rifle at target practice. Accuracy is also affected by the shape and size of the chamber, and the lead is an equally determining factor. Moreover, it is at this particular juncture where the accuracy of good, reliable ammunition is invariably decided, as it is often noticed that a rifle may shoot accurately with one make, but indifferently with another, because the former has a good chamber {To be and lead fit. Therefore it is possible that those cartridges- which do not provide consistent accuracy in your par ticular rifle may give the utmost satisfaction to your club- comrade, even though he may be using a rifle of the same " model " as your own. Good ignition of the cartridge is another and very important item to be taken into consideration -hhen we s e e k t o e r a d i c a t e t h e fi r s t e r r o r i n r i fl e s h o o t i n g . Especially does it seem that with rim-fire ammunition the striker must be of the correct shape—pass through, the gauge of a S.M.L.E. implement action is an excellent standard—and indent at the right place, and hit just hard enough at the exact portion of the rim where the best results are obtained. The metal jacket or case diflers- considerably in the various makes of ammunition. Some of them are soft, while others offer more resistance to- the point of the striker. Some are thicker or perhaps- thinner or are primed with a more or less sensitive detonating compound. All these points affect accuracy unless the striker is gauged suitably. To obtain absolute accuracy it is advisable to divide ypur shooting up and place it under three headings, or errors if you prefer to call them so. We will make the fi r s t " E r r o r o f R i fl e a n d A m m u n i t i o n , " t h e s e c o n d " Error of the Day-—Atmosphere, Light and Wind," and the third "Error, Personal — Trigger Pressing and Holding;" The first may be eradicated by a study of simple ballistics and close attention to the suitability of rifle and ammunition ; the second overcome by expcrience and thought; the latter by careful practice and determina tion to secure a smooth let-oft combined with control of one's nerves and regulation of breathing. However, at this moment we are concerned principally with the rifle and the ammunition ; the other remedies may follow later. Probably the most accurate rifle ever made needs to be humoured, but we may be quite certain that each and every rifle issued in the ordinary way has some pecu- liarit}', which an expert would discover without an ex haustive trial and so postpone its relegation to the scrap- heap, thus avoiding considerable annoyance and perhaps- u n n e c e s s a r y e x p e n s e . tinued.) -O B R O W N E M A RT I N C H A L L E N G E C U P C O M P E T I T I O N Conditions : One team of eight from any Club affiliated to the S.M.R.C., having its range within 15 miles of the G.P.O, Ten shots per man deliberate at 25 yards, S.M.R.C.

H a m a n d P e t e r s h a m R i fl e C l u b The summer programme of the H a m a n d P e t e r s h a m R i fl e C l u b was brought to a conclusion on September 22, when the cham pionship was completed and the annual prize giving took place on the range before a large gather ing of interested visitors, the numerous valuable club trophies and prizes being much admired. Lord Sudeloy, who presided, offered his congratulations on the great success which had attended the competitions. The weather on the whole had been very fair, and the shooting had been e.x- tremely good and quite up to the mark^ maintaining to the full t h e i r o l d t r a d i t i o n s , a l t h o u g h there .wpre many new competi t o r s . . A s d o u b t h a d a r i s e n i n t h e minds of some as to the use of rifle clubs in time of war, he had been asked if he would take this opportunity of saying what the club had been able to effect in the work of helping to train men for the war. He was glad to say that they had done first-rate work which had received high official praise. When the war broke out the committee at once threw open the range free to all comers and had, through a special syndicate, s u b s c r i b e d s u t fi c i e n t f u n d s t o e n able them to give free ammuni tion to anv residents of Ham and Petersham who were willing to practise. In this manner many had fitted themselves and joined up. Of those who had gone to t h e f r o n t f r o m t h i s n e i g h b o u r hood, he believed the statistics s h o w e d t h a t t w o - t h i r d s h a d a t one time or other, as boys or men. received instruction at the range. .As time went on large numbers besides members came and practised, including recruits. Specials and Volunteers. In the earlv stages of the war no fewer thari 11,000 recruits received in struction in one year, but latterly the military had been able to pro vide small ranges close to their various camps. In regard to the actual number—-recruits. Specials, Volunteers and others—who had thus received instruction he was unable to sav precisely, but he found that roughly more than 40.000 targets had been used. He had frequently mentioned that inanv of the best snipers at the front had been jiroved to be men who had received special training at rifle elubs, and at their oyvn club they had received several notices of approval of some of their men so trained. There was one particular case he wished to mention, that of Major AA'ilde, who was one of iheir best-trained shots, and who was specially commended for the brilliant work he did as a sniper. He received a commission, but unfortunately when he had just been promoted to the rank of major they had. sorrowfully to mourn his loss. Lord Sudeley then pointed out a competition t a r g e t o f M a j o r W i l d e ' s w h i c h had been framed and hung up; it was a " possible " at a hun dred yards and wa.s an e.xcellent e.varnple of his prowess. Pro ceeding, he referred in a flat tering manner to the shooting contests of the Kingston Special Constabulary, many of whom had obtained high positions as first- rate shots. He thought it was only right to say that he was informed that ihey attributed rnuch of their success to the as s i d u o u s m a n n e r i n w h i c h M r. Warner, captain of the club, had devoted him.self to their training. Ihey all knew .also of the good work that Mr. S. H. Elphinstone, one of their committee, had done in the matter. He ventured to think that this was an e.xtremely good record as to what had been done by the club in the matter of helping to train fighting units. During the past six months they had entered a considerable number of new members, 210, m a n v o f w h o m c a m e - f r o m t h e large aeroplane factory which had recently been erected! Mr. Sop- with had presented them with a valuable silver bowl as a trophy for annual competition for their s u m m e r " a g g r e g a t e . " H e trusted that ere long they would s e e a c o n s i d e r a b l e n u m b e r o f other employers interested and becoming active shooting mem bers. He wished specially to em phasise to new members the de sirability of becoming competi tors for the monthly prizes. Croat care was taken that nearly all these competitions should be shot under handicap conditions so that everyone should have an equal chance to gain a prize. F u r t h e r h e d e s i r e d t o e n l i s t t h e i r sympathies in helping to carry out the programme started with such good effect this year of in teresting a large number of boys in their special competitions amongst schools in the neighbour h o o d . T w e l v e s c h o o l s h a d a l r e a d y b e e n c o m p e t i n g f o r t h e v a r i o u s p r i z e s t h e c l u b h a d offered. This, however, was only a c o m m e n c e m e n t , a n d t h e y wanted to get together certainly more than double that number . The club had always taken the greatest interest in trying to t r a i n b o y s a n d g e t t h e m i n terested in what ought to be a great national amusement. The committee thought that, those .school competitions, if thoroughly a n d p r o p e r l y k n o w n , w o u l d b e taken up enthusiastically. During this year, he proceeded, a very important new plan had been adopted in the manage ment. The general committee had got a body of five shooting members to form a small manag-, ing committee, meeting con stantly and taking an active in terest in everything connected with shooting. The committee c o n s i s t e d o f M e s s r s W a r d e n a s captain and chairman), Wright, Elphinstone, Jones, and Collins. He was glad to say that the com mittee had been a great success, and had introduced new life into the working of the club, and he could not speak too highly of what it was doing. .Mr. Wright, the hon .secretary, had thrown himself thoroughly into the work and was most active in promot ing its success. Lord Sudeley then presented the prizes to the various winners, and the afternoon closed with a hearty vote of thanks, proposed b y - M r. C . H . E . S m i t h , h o n . treasurer, to Lord Sudeley for so kindly attending to present the prizes. Mr . Smith reminded those pre.scnt how much the club w a s a l w a y s i n d e b t e d t o L o r d Sudeley for the extra interest he took in all its doings, and the a m o u n t o f w o r k a n d t i m e h e w a s continually devoting to the club's welfare. The management committee are preparing a very interesting winter programme on consider- a b l v e x t e n d e d l i n e s , a s t h e v a r e determined to continue the good work that has already been ac complished, and offer every in ducement to anyone who will come and learii to shoot and avail themselves of the facilities offered b v t h e r a n g e .
