THE TARGET RANGE SUMMARY:
In totaling the target work for the season over
the local range the fact stands out clearly that the men of Fort
Seward are no slouches when it comes to Rifle work* Ihc summary
given below does not take into account the marks made on other rah
gas than the Fort Seward one,and so may lower by a tenth of a per
cent or so th$ marks that may rightly be credited to organizations*
But th« numbor of oxpsrts that qualified in that class under Capts*
Goode and Barnhill easily outnumber the less fortunate individuals
who couldn't qui ta make the 293.As should be,the sharpshooters who
just missed the covotsd E.F.greatly outnumber the marksmen,and only
5 out of the whole post registered in the Bolo grad*. But even these (
almost without exception qualified away up in the Automatic Class,- *■
som® even as Experts. And so,taken all in all,- we can easily admit
that Fort Seward had a good season on the rang®,-and that we certain
ly don’t mean tlio wsatKsr, -for if any rifle classes over hit worse
conditions under whicn to shoot,-wo want them to front and center and
tell us ail about it,
Ihe palm goes to the late lamented Headquarters
Co.,which qualified every man. "F11 Co. ooraes next with all but one man
in the honor list,and "EM fjilows with 4 outside the ring.
