FIRING SET BY A. & M.
MAN IN REGULAR ARMY
Captain C. M. “Speck” Easley, U.
S. A, ’16, has broken the world’s
record in rifle shooting. During his
cadet days he was a “bug” on rifle
shooting.
Here is a story with reference to |
his achievement.
The world’s rifle record has been
recently brcken by Capt. Claudius M.
Easley of the Thirty-First Infantry,
United States army, who was reared |
in Waco and is row stationed in the
Philippin-. islands.
The score was 343 out of a possi-
ble 350, the old record being 341.
Captain Easley’s scores were: 200
yards, slow fire, 48; 200 yards, rapid
fire, 60; 300 yards, slow fire, 47; 300 |
yards, rapid fire, 50; 500 yards, slow |
fire, 50; 500 yards, rarid fire, 50:
600 yards. slow fire, 48.
The 300-yard slow fire score was |
shit in the rain w'th a 15-mil> wind,
which explains the fact that he drop- .
ped more points there than at any
ther range.
