LOW SCORING
The Shoot on Wednesday, with an attendance of 75, did not produce such high scores as last week, due to wind difficulties at 300 yards, except for the really splendid effort of Cpl. R. Langford 1/Mx. Regiment in the S.R.(a) Class. He secured the nett spoon with 91, using open sights, with a brilliant 34 at 500 yards.
