SMALL-BORE INTER-COLONIAL
MATCH
A changing light and a constantly, varying wind made shoot- ing conditions somewhat difficult yesterday afternoon for these members who attended the usual mid-week Spoon and. Practice Shoot of the Hong Kong Rifle Association. In spite of these ad- Terse factors. however, there were several scores of 90 and over, made with the "1914" rifle, although the scoring with the S.R... (a) weapon was very low, the highest aggregate being 78, against an average of well over 80.
