Therafore it seems that the all policy which favoured concentrating on the use of the rifle has yet to be exploded, and in these circumstances it is difficult for lay knowledge to appreciate the change which has been inaugurated. At the sune time likes to be admitted that the rifla competitions which take plasounder sivilian r semi-military auspices might be conducted under more realistic conditions. Lying down at a range situated in a valley sheltered fromthe storms which oventionally sweep the country side, with innumerable nida, such as glassus, ink, etc,, with few, distractions, and firing at a target in the hope of registering bull's-eyes, is vastly different to the inutlo.and excitement which would provsil during warfars.
