The big shoot is in three stages,
each on different days, The first
stage is this year of seven shots ac
1100 yards, seven at 500 and seven at
800. Formerly the shorter ranges
wore taken first but this meant that
.the longer distances were faced in a
waning light. Also, the targets on
ranges up to 600 feet have been made
more difficult by lessening the bull's
eye.
In the second stage the 300 best
first stage scorers each shoot ten at
800 and 600 yards.
The hundred best in the second
stage en'cer the final -15 shots at 900
