Battin finished third with Poplar Lynn for Les by steve cooke The Remington Company periodically sends out tips and hints in news releases that are informative and useful. Here is one that deals with sighting in your `rifle: Heading into the woods with a rifle that hasn't been sighted in makes no more sense than driving an automobile without a gasoline gauge. Trusting to this kind of luck is sure to cost you sooner or later. If your rifle has stood in the rack since the end of last year's hunting season, or even for a couple Of months, it is always prudent to recheck its zero on the range, ad- vises the Remington Arms Company. Here are a number of Remington tips for best sighting hi results. First, as an important safety precaution, run several patches through barrels that have been oiled or greased for storage. Firing a rifle with congealed oil or grease remaining in the barrel can cause excessive and potentially dangerous pressures. Sighting in should be a test of rifle and ammunition performance only, rather than your personal shooting ability. Consequently, rests should be used underneath both fore -end and butt stock to provide as steady and consistent a hold as possible. Fore -end rests, however, should be qf a material soft and resilient enough to simulate the normal give of your hand when shooting without a rest. All rifles produce a certain amount of barrel whip or vibration that will cause them to shoot high when mounted on a hard, solid surface. Subsequent shots, then, without the inflexible support, will invariably go low. Start by firing two shots for reference on the paper, followed by any major adjustments that are necessary. After that, fire three -shot groups only, using the center of each group as your reference to make final, finer adjustments. Waiting several minutes before each group allows the barrel to cool and helps restore your own concentration. All Remington firearms and ammunition catalogs contain a section showing trajectory figures for a tremendous selection of calibers and bullet weights. Referring to this, you can determine where a rifle sighted in at a given range will hit at other ranges. For most calibers, a rifle zeroed at 100 yards can be held dead on at all ranges out to that distance. For expected shots at longer ranges, it is generally better, using trajectory figures, to sight in high enough at 100 yards to be zeroed at 200 or 300 yards. Record the point of impact for each distance and tape them to the stock of your rifle for reference in the field. Lastly, be sure to sight in with the same bullet weight i plan to use for actual hunting. Remember that changes in bullet weight will change your point of \..unpa ct.

Fish and Game Club ,Support community work By Stan Falconer This, my first attempt to write a column of club news, will be for the express pur- pose of trying to inform the community why the Club ex- ists and to tell of some of the activities that take place there. As it is well known, we are not a rich Club but we do try to help community ac- tivities when funds are available. A donation of $150 was made to minor sports at the last general meeting, with plans underway for a donation to the hospital fund. The Club would like to thank Cam Addison for his donation of a large bird pep, three Silver pheasants, two Amherst pheasants and two Bob Whites. These birds add- ed to the Clubs flock of two Ring Neck, three Amherst, one Swinhoe, one Yellow Golden, one Red Golden, two White and two Silver pheasants, four Wood Ducks, two Indian Runner ducks, one Mandarin duck and a Peacock. Add to this a dozen domestic ducks and a goose, numerous banties and rab- bits and a flock of Fan 'Tail pigeons and this. number of birds coupled with the wild ducks and geese that visit the Club add up to quite a feed bill. After much discussion, the Ladies Club has been reac- tivated and members wish the ladies lots of luck. Any lady wilt wishes to join the Ladies Club, would be more than welcome. The ladies are operating the Sunday afternoon bingos this year CLINTON RECREATION COMMITTEE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23 - EVENING Gymnastics at CHSS This Ad Courtesy of HMIsr ■ AND SONS LTD. yrr,.ld Id CL,NrON 112 1109 AND CENTURY EIS] ==== SPRAYER and so far are doing well.
