COMPANY F OPENS SEASON ON TARGET RANGE:
-Clie open season on bulls1 eyes began yesterday morning, May 1st,
when Company F (with attached personnel, including Major F* M. Maddox,
Captain R.C.bright, Lt. Clyde urr&dy and Pvt* Archibald McLeod) fired
the 200 and 300 yard ranges (prone with sand bag) to zero their rifles*
Althdugh the morning was rather chilly, building of large fires in the
woods nearby enabled the musketeers to keep comfortable, and the avergge
scores were high for the first firing of the season. Few fell below '
forty, and scores of 47 and 48 were plentiful. Individual scores are
published elsewhere in this paper*
Meanwhile Company L is getting an early start at the preliminary
work. The non-commissioned officers are busily engaged at triangling
and position drill, so that they can go on the range as soon as Company
vacates the firing points. With their own record firing accomplished
during the first week, the N.C.O.s of the company will then devote their
entire attention to coaching.

States, but he returned Wednesday, in plenty of time for the first day’s
