CHILKOOT SHOOTING TRADITIONS CONTINUE ON SAN FRANCISCO BAY:
Captain Loster H, Barnhill and 1st Lt. Paul R. Goode, now commanding
respectively Companies F and G of the 'Thirtieth Infantry at the Presidio of
San Francisco, are living up to the reputations they established for them
selves at this post as rifle marksmanship instructors. The Bulletin of In
formation, issued by the 9th Corps Area, in commenting oil the "excellent show
ing" made during' the present range season, says:
"Company F, commanded by Capt. Lester H. Barnhill, and Company G, com
manded by Lieutenant Paul R. * Goode, each qualified 100/« of its men, firing on
the rifle range at 2Trt Barry.
"Of the 56 men of Company F# 37 qualified in the grade of expert rifle
men, which is the highest qualification that can be awarded for target practiece;
23 men qualified as sharpshooters and six as marksmen. Hie average score per
man was 300 out of a possible 350.
"Twenty-eight men out of 64 in Company G qualified as expert riflemen,
29 as sharpshooters and seven as marksmen. The average, score of the men fir
ing was 297.9 out of a possible 350."
Some of us have fired on the range at Fort Barry and know th&t it has
a fish-tail wind that is mighty tricky at the long ranges,, and fog often in
terferes with visibility. Getting scores like these on that range is mighty
fine work, in other words just \*hat we would expect of companies commanded by
"Barney" and "Pop".
